Andorra Endavant Pushes Coliving Rules for Seasonal Workers to Ease Rental Crunch

Andorra Endavant has called for specific regulations to establish coliving as a dedicated housing model for seasonal workers, rather than long-term residents, to address overcrowding and ease pressure on the rental market.

The parliamentary group argues that coliving offers an urgent way to improve living conditions for temporary workers during winter and summer peaks, when many share flats with 12 to 15 people or rooms lacking any privacy. These arrangements, they say, create unacceptable living standards that harm workers' quality of life and remove homes from availability for permanent residents.

In a statement, the party led by Carine Montaner emphasised that coliving must target temporers through a dedicated regulatory framework ensuring quality, order and dignity. Proposed features include private rooms for each occupant—equipped with basics like a television—alongside shared spaces such as kitchens, lounges, laundry facilities and dining areas suited to short stays.

This approach, Andorra Endavant contends, would achieve two goals: better accommodations for seasonal staff and the release of residential properties back to the long-term rental market. The group has urged the government to introduce a clear and stable legal framework, providing legal certainty to encourage private sector involvement.

Regulating coliving in this manner, they assert, represents not just an option but a necessity to safeguard housing rights for residents while securing dignified conditions for all.
