Overview

• A Madrid high court (TSJM) denied Airbnb’s appeal to lift precautionary measures covering 34,728 listings flagged at the end of 2024.
• It is the court’s second endorsement of the consumer ministry’s actions, following a May ruling on an initial batch of 5,800 ads.
• The ministry issued three resolutions totaling 65,000 listings, and Airbnb removed those ads in July after the first judicial backing.
• Officials cited missing or invalid license numbers and the absence of disclosure of the landlords’ legal status as the main violations.
• The consumer directorate has open sanction proceedings against large property managers and real estate agencies for alleged deceptive or abusive practices.
