Can a holiday rental licence in Andalusia be revoked?
Short answer
Yes. A holiday rental licence in Andalusia can be revoked or suspended if the property no longer meets legal requirements, if false information was provided, or if serious violations occur.
Grounds for revocation
The Junta de Andalucía may cancel or suspend a licence if the dwelling fails to meet minimum standards (safety, ventilation, equipment), if owners fail to notify changes, or if rentals cause disturbances or breach community rules.
How the process works
Authorities typically inspect or investigate after complaints or irregularities. If non-compliance is proven, fines may be issued and the licence revoked until compliance is restored. Severe or repeated breaches may lead to permanent cancellation.
Practical implications
Owners should maintain full compliance and keep updated records. Buyers should verify that the licence is active and that no sanctions are pending before purchase.
