REGULATION OF SHORT-TERM HOUSING RENTALS IN SPAIN 705 Chart 1. Main restrictions to competition in regional legislation Source: CNMC (2018a). 3.4. Some Insights We can extract some general guiding principles on regulatory intervention from the application of efficient economic regulation principles onto short-term housing rentals: Firstly, regulators should not automatically extend traditional regulation onto new business models.
