Legal and operational risks
Tourist and seasonal rentals can have different legal and tax requirements depending on the autonomous community and municipality (licenses, day limits, tourist taxes).
Real occupancy varies by season: low-demand months can fall well below the average annual percentage used in this calculation.
Seasonal rental requires more operational load (booking management, cleaning between guests, handling incidents) than a long-term rental.
