Court revokes tourist apartment license in Barcelona building

The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Catalunya revoked a tourist apartment license for a residential building on calle Tarragona in Barcelona, Spain.

The court ruling supported the local city council after the property owner applied for the license without informing the neighbors. Eduard Malynovskyy, a tenant in the building, expressed relief following the decision, noting that the property owner had previously listed his home as a tourist rental online. The building contains 120 rental homes.

The ruling ensures that the units will no longer operate as tourist accommodations.
