annulled a sanction of the Consell de Ibiza for intrusiveness<\/strong> to a worker who <strong>rented a room in her own house<\/strong>, considering that this practice is not typified as an infraction in the Tourism Law of the Balearic Islands.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"301\" data-end=\"568\">\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/en\/current-news\/fewer-people-full-hotels-ibiza-defends-with-data-that-its-strategy-against-intrusiveness-is-already-showing-results\/?swcfpc=1\">Fewer people, full hotels: Ibiza defends with data that its strategy against intrusiveness is already showing results<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"1093\">After three years of proceedings, the court has issued sentence 512\/2025, dated October 31, which annuls a sanction imposed by the Consell to a resident of Ibiza for renting a room in her habitual residence to tourists.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"1093\">According to the ruling, the action of the Island Administration lacks legal backing, since <strong data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1093\">the Autonomous Tourism Law (LTIB) does not contemplate sanctions for this type of leases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1558\">The legal defense, led by lawyer <strong data-start=\"1278\" data-end=\"1299\">Michele Tortorici<\/strong>, succeeded in getting the judge to annul the sanction imposed by the Consell de Ibiza, considering it <strong data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1487\">&#8220;null and void&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"2055\">&#8220;<strong data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1642\">The sanctioned conduct does not fit in the type of sanctioning of art. 105 g) LTIB&#8221;<\/strong>, states the ruling that is in possession of <a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/en\/\"><strong>La Voz de Ibiza<\/strong><\/a>aligning itself with the thesis defended from the beginning of the process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"2055\">The aforementioned article corresponds to the infractions in matters of tourist marketing included in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-2012-10610\">Law 8\/2012 of Tourism of the Balearic Islands<\/a>, but <strong data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"2055\">the autonomous legislation only regulates and sanctions the tourist rental of complete dwellings, leaving without legal coverage the leasing by individual rooms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2062\" data-end=\"2108\">A legal loophole<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2110\" data-end=\"2531\">The ruling states that the Balearic Law expressly limits the tourist rental activity to the <strong data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2298\">&#8220;temporary assignment of the entire residential dwelling, and not by rooms&#8221;,<\/strong> which <strong data-start=\"2307\" data-end=\"2356\">excludes this practice from the sanctioning regime.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2110\" data-end=\"2531\">Along these lines, Article <strong data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2404\">50.15 of the LTIB<\/strong> <strong data-start=\"2405\" data-end=\"2450\">leaves out room contracts<\/strong> until there is a <strong data-start=\"2472\" data-end=\"2497\">specific regulation<\/strong>, which has not yet been approved.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2533\" data-end=\"3021\">This lack of regulations has been a determining factor in the judge&#8217;s verdict, which reinforces his reasoning in the <strong data-start=\"2639\" data-end=\"2678\">principle of legality of penalties<\/strong> enshrined in Article 25.1 of the Spanish Constitution, which <strong data-start=\"2751\" data-end=\"2823\">prohibits penalizing by analogy conducts not expressly typified<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2533\" data-end=\"3021\">\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/agentes-contra-el-intrusismo-la-figura-pionera-que-ya-trabaja-en-ibiza-y-que-ha-abierto-decenas-de-expedientes-por-alquiler-ilegal\/?swcfpc=1\">Agents against intrusion: the pioneer figure that already works in Ibiza and has opened dozens of files for illegal renting.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2533\" data-end=\"3021\">The judicial text is also supported by the consolidated case law of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court, which prevents any extensive interpretation to the detriment of the administered party.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3192\"><strong data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3167\">&#8220;If the law does not expressly say that renting a room in your house is an infraction, the Administration cannot invent the sanction,&#8221;<\/strong> the lawyer stressed to <strong>La Voz de Ibiza<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3199\" data-end=\"3263\">Sanctioning policy questioned<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3265\" data-end=\"3598\">The resolution of the Court not only overturns a specific sanction, but also <strong data-start=\"3336\" data-end=\"3400\">questions the entire sanctioning policy of the Consell de Ibiza<\/strong> in relation to the tourist rental of rooms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3265\" data-end=\"3598\">According to the defense, the Consell has been imposing <strong data-start=\"3517\" data-end=\"3598\">fines for years for a conduct that the law does not consider an infraction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3600\" data-end=\"3908\">&#8220;The most serious aspect of the matter is not only that the sanctions are illegal, but the devastating consequences they have had for dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Ibiza residents who were simply trying to make ends meet on an island where the cost of living has become unsustainable,&#8221; Tortorici denounces.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3910\" data-end=\"4334\">The affected woman, the protagonist of this first judicial precedent,<strong data-start=\"3978\" data-end=\"4028\">&#8220;suffered the pledging of her bank accounts<\/strong> and was subjected to a situation of <strong data-start=\"4065\" data-end=\"4089\">economic<\/strong> ostracism,&#8221; having to face a penalty of an amount that is described as <strong data-start=\"4159\" data-end=\"4175\">&#8220;unbearable&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"3910\" data-end=\"4334\">\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/sant-antoni-refuerza-la-lucha-contra-el-alquiler-turistico-ilegal-con-12-agentes-de-intrusismo-y-convivencia\/?swcfpc=1\">Sant Antoni reinforces the fight against illegal tourist rentals with 12 Agents of Intrusiveness and Coexistence<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3910\" data-end=\"4334\">His only &#8220;crime&#8221;, according to the defense, was to rent a room in his usual residence in order to be able to afford the very high costs of living in Ibiza.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"4341\" data-end=\"4399\">A precedent that marks a change<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4401\" data-end=\"4727\">The lawyer argues that the structural problem lies in a system that imposes <strong>disproportionate fines and suffocates citizens economically,<\/strong> trusting that they will not be able to withstand the judicial process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4729\" data-end=\"4950\">&#8220;They sanction you with exorbitant amounts, they suffocate you economically, and they bet that you won&#8217;t have the resources or the stamina to go to court. The Consell knew perfectly well that the majority would not appeal,&#8221; he stresses.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4952\" data-end=\"5343\">In this regard, Tortorici emphasizes that any person who receives a sanction for renting rooms in his or her habitual residence has a <strong data-start=\"4985\" data-end=\"5141\">firm precedent to appeal it judicially.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4952\" data-end=\"5343\">However, it warns that <strong data-start=\"5178\" data-end=\"5343\">those who did not appeal in time, accepted the penalty or let the procedural terms expire, have probably lost the possibility of recovering the amount paid.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5345\" data-end=\"5587\">&#8220;This sentence establishes a clear judicial interpretation: this conduct is not typified in the LTIB and therefore cannot be sanctioned. But to get to this point we had to appeal and endure three years of proceedings,&#8221; he stresses.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"5594\" data-end=\"5654\">Turning point<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5656\" data-end=\"5953\">The lawyer emphasizes that this resolution<strong>&#8220;does not represent a step backwards in the fight against tourist intrusion<\/strong>, but rather a resounding affirmation that public administrations cannot act arbitrarily, sanctioning citizens for conduct that the law has not prohibited&#8221;.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"5656\" data-end=\"5953\">\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/sin-tregua-al-intrusismo-sobre-ruedas-ibiza-borra-casi-todos-los-anuncios-de-caravanas-en-airbnb\/?swcfpc=1\">No truce to intrusion on wheels: Ibiza deletes almost all the ads for caravans on Airbnb<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"5955\" data-end=\"6216\">&#8220;The LTIB expressly regulated and restricted the assignment of the entirety of a residential dwelling for tourist purposes. But it deliberately left out the rental of individual rooms, pending a specific regulation that never came,&#8221; he insists.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6218\" data-end=\"6312\">Finally, Tortorici underlines the value of the sentence as an example of resistance and justice: &#8220;This sentence is the result of three years of work, of rigorous legal analysis and of the resistance of a client who trusted when all seemed lost. The merit goes to the judge, who has been able to see what the rule clearly stated and that the Consell preferred to ignore. And<strong> it is a victory for all the residents of Ibiza who are trying to survive on an increasingly expensive island<\/strong>&#8220;, he concludes.  <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"6218\"
