Ruetoo’s model allowed hosts to list unregistered sublets, which conflicted with Spain’s strict short‑term rental regulations. Barcelona’s enforcement actions forced the platform to cease operations.

The ban was part of a broader European crackdown on platforms facilitating unauthorized rentals, and Ruetoo could not secure the required commercial licences.
