Our community has an internal rule that states only owners not rentors can have pets in their property and this has to be with the written permission of the president and the administrator.  The rule was brought in many years ago following an instance of a large, vocal dog in a rented property.

A rentor has just moved in with dogs and cats.  We have been advised by the adminstrator that the Spanish owner renting out the propertyis correct, under Spanish law we cannot stop anyone having pets.

Is this right?  If it is why have a vote at the AGM to bring in a rule which our administrators know cannot be enforced.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts/experience on this

John,

Interesting points:

 If a property standing empty then there is no income for the local community, if it is rented  then there is. The tax which may be lost on a rental is more than compensated for by it being occupied rather than standing empty. If any action is needed it is to ensure than all properties are occupied, forget the tax.

Why should we forget the tax, so many properties are very well occupied throughout the year but do their owners pay any tax?  So many seem to conveniently "forget" 

All completed properties incur an IBI charge. All properties which change hands are registered in the town hall’s Property Registry office, thus the town hall always knows who any new owner is.

They may well know all the owners but, how to bill them?  Our own council just cannot get the address right for our comunitie, the poor post woman doesn't stand a chance.  Many owners just don't bother to go to the town hall to collect their IBI

As I explained you seem not to be aware how the system already works.

I am very well aware of how the system works or not as I frequently find. I own in Spain and am constantly amazed at how systems just don't seem to gel.  Not that the UK does much better sometimes.

 If the Government wants help to catch up on tax get the community Presidents to have to disclose who rents their property.

Also, how can a town council expect to survive when there seems to be no link between the properties that have been sold and the IBI that gets collected.  Surely somebody could work out that, if 44 properties have been sold then IBI should be collected on all 44!

Their whole systems seem to need over-hauling and merging.
