Los datos del alquiler turístico ilegal en Menorca: solo 1 de cada 3 anuncios en Airbnb tiene la licencia correcta

The analysis reveals that most short-term rental listings in Menorca do not meet legal requirements, suggesting that current measures against illegal accommodation are ineffective. This situation has exacerbated the housing access crisis and tourist saturation, leading authorities to acknowledge that the current model has reached its limits. The discrepancy between the actual supply and existing regulations highlights the urgent need for stricter intervention to preserve the island’s social and urban balance. The new digital tool exposes the scale of non-compliance by cross-referencing public data from the Airbnb platform with the official license registry. It has been detected that numerous properties lack valid permits, have duplicate or expired licenses, or are located in areas where such activities are prohibited. These findings demonstrate that, although the information is accessible, the lack of systematic action by institutions fosters a sense of impunity that perpetuates the irregular supply. This report is relevant to the open data community because it exemplifies how cross-referencing public datasets can audit government transparency and policy implementation. By using open-source technologies to verify the validity of licenses against commercial offerings, citizens and activists can demand accountability. This reinforces the value of open data as an essential tool for civic oversight, advocacy for the right to housing, and correction of failures in public management.
