Re Unlicensed Lettings (Readers letters yesterday) A reply to Carol Evans of Cala Vinyes.
Dear Sir,
I think all genuine rental property owners will agree agree whole heartedly with your concerns. But there are already laws in place. To be legal, owners must issue the correct rental contract, and of course keep records and pay taxes on their income, just like any other business activity.
Naturally I understand all of your fears, but the issues you raise are about the lack of compliance with the law by some landlords, and the lack of enforcement of the law by the authorities.
We are surrounded by many other examples of this of course, and just like any other infringement it can be reported to the police, perhaps following a respectful warning to the offender.
A blanket ban on an activity that serves a legitimate and growing demand, which promotes our island and helps to finance our economy, is nothing more than a move to favour wealthy hotel ownerDoes anybody doubt that the hoteliers are the very worst offenders in bringing our local economy to its knees ?
