Likewise, the counselor has stressed that the decree does not take measures on the communities of owners , and that the horizontal property law is the responsibility of the State.

According to the latest study of the Autonomous Community in 2017, the Canary Islands have a total of 31,970 houses on vacation rental (almost 6% more than the previous year) and a total of 131,030 beds (1% more). Of these, more than 6,000 houses are authorized by the councils.
