Owner Compliance

Do Simply Owners check every property licence?

No, and no platform can. Laws vary by country, region and even village.

Owners are responsible for knowing and following their local rules.

 

We display licence numbers provided by owners and remove listings where information is missing or inaccurate.


 

What if my country/region doesn’t require a licence?

That’s fine, some areas do not have a licensing scheme.

Can Simply Owners tell me what licence I need?

We can’t give legal advice because rules change often and differ locally, regionally and nationally.

Your local authority, town hall or tourism department will confirm exactly what you need.

 

What happens if I don’t update my licence number?

We may have to suspend your listing until it is updated.

This keeps the platform safe, compliant and trustworthy for guests.

Do you take payments or act as an agent?

No. Simply Owners is an advertising-only platform.

The contract and payments are directly between Owner and the Guest.


 

What if an authority contacts Simply Owners about my property?

We will always cooperate with official requests.

We may pause your listing temporarily until the issue is resolved.

Why do you need the licence number on display?

It reassures guests and ensures compliance with local regulations (especially in Spain, Portugal, Italy and some French regions).
