flag A Spanish court ordered Airbnb to pay €64 million for hosting 65,000 illegal short-term rentals without proper licenses.

flag A Spanish court has ordered Airbnb to pay a €64 million fine for hosting over 65,000 illegal short-term rentals without proper licenses or accurate information, rejecting the company’s bid to delay payment. flag The penalty, imposed by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, stems from violations including false advertising and failure to disclose host identities, with the amount based on profits from non-compliant listings. flag The ruling confirms prior orders to remove illegal listings and follows Spain’s efforts to combat over-tourism and housing shortages. flag Airbnb has appealed, calling the fine unjust and inconsistent with EU law, but must pay while the case continues.
