I would not believe what an estate agent says. He is not a legal expert, but he does have a financial interest in selling places. Sorry Popcorn, but I am not convinced of his interpretation of the term “touristic” – my Moroccan lawyer told me something very different abut the term in Moroccan law, and he deals with these cases on a regular basis in Morocco rather than the UK. “Touristique” is a legal term which implies concrete obligations regulated under the Moroccan law. It is true that there is no indication in the contract to the fact that our units have to be let out. This is because the legal term “touristic” under Moroccan law is self-explanatory: they must be let out most time of the year (not only a few weeks), and there are additional rules as to when we may actually use the property ourselves, e.g. in summer we may only live up to 2 weeks in our property. We don’t have a right to change the furniture either because the entire area of the development must confer with a certain standard.
