María Gibert, the manager of the Habtur holiday rentals association, says prices have increased this year by up to seven per cent. This increase is the consequence of rising costs for supplies and utilities. It is, she adds, a "slight" increase in price and in line with what has been happening generally.

Lisa JuliaAbsolutely true. It's not difficult. And they can do it programmatically, rather than using humans to check it. Why they don't bother is a good question. However, Airbnb isn't the only holiday let broker, and though they often seem to be clueless about certain things, they do demand that hosts declare and prove their legality. Some apparently slip through the net, but for example, I've just received an message from Airbnb demanding that we reconfirm our licence, and that the location of our listings is correct and precise within the next 48 hours, or else be delisted. I have not received anything remotely similar, nor have I ever been required to prove our licence to any other platform (e.g., Booking, VRBO, etc) . And that seems to suggest that it's not just Airbnb. Nonetheless, I sense this problem is on its way to the deep blue sea. Airbnb or otherwise.
Or they could just go on the air bnb site and simply check the ETV numbers. Simples
