Lanzarote En Pie has filed a complaint with the Seprona of the Civil Guard against a company it accuses of having built a holiday apartment complex "allegedly illegally" in the town of Tahíche. In addition, the formation has also denounced the facts before the Tax Network and before the Tourism Inspection of the Government of the Canary Islands.
"This is a tourist exploitation that we have learned about through a neighborhood complaint and that the owner company advertises on different digital platforms dedicated to offering accommodation through the holiday rental formula,” explains LeP spokesperson Leticia Padilla.
According to her, the tourist complex "appears in the Mercantile Registry and in the cadastre as two plots of single-family homes, on which a complex of holiday homes has de facto been built that has more than twenty units, including two individual villas with swimming pools".
In this regard, she emphasizes that "the general plan of Teguise, in this area of Tahiche, only allows the modality of isolated single-family housing or the modality of semi-detached single-family housing, being able to be located in the same plot unit or in two independent plots sharing a boundary." However, in the case reported, she maintains that the owner company "has built more than twenty apartments between the two plots."
Padilla points out that before filing the complaint she went to the area and verified that, “effectively, two plots have been joined to build a tourist complex in a space where only single-family residences can be housed", so this Thursday she decided to bring "this alleged urban crime" to the attention of the Civil Guard of Lanzarote, in the first instance, and later, to the Tax Network and Tourism Inspection of the Government of the Canary Islands, "so that they carry out the appropriate investigations.”
