Do you have a flat for rent? Check what will change – you may be surprised!
From Barcelona to Budapest – European cities implement new short -term rental regulations.
Increasing prices of apartments and voltages with local communities incline governments to act. The era of compulsory registers, greater transparency and local restrictions is coming.
The EU introduces new rental standards
EU Regulation 2024/1476, in force since June 2024, imposes on Member States the obligation to collect data on short -term rental services. This is the beginning of changes that are to increase transparency and facilitate the fight against illegal rental.
Poland at the threshold of the reform
In Poland, work is underway on the Act, which is to enter into force in 2025. It provides for the obligation to register all facilities for rent, give them an identification number and new information obligations for apartment owners. Local governments will gain the right to regulate rental activities in their area.
Voice of the industry: The need to professionalize and eliminate the gray zone
– Well thought -out regulations are necessary, especially to limit the gray zone and increase the standard of services. We observe the negative impact of unprofessional activities of private hosts. From avoiding taxes to tolerating troublesome events. The central registry will help organize the market and improve security – comments Ewa Wielgórska, President of the Management Board of the Managing Company Fairy Flats.
Spain and Italy. Obligatory registers, online registration prohibition
Spain and Italy have exacerbated the control – they introduce national registers and the obligation to personally check in guests. The goal is to improve identification and fight with illegal practices.
Hungary. Tax and moratorium in Budapest
Budapest from 2025 introduces a two -year moratorium to new registrations and increases the short -term rental tax as many as four times.
European trend: more controls, less chaos
Changes in the regulations show a common direction – greater control, local decision -making and protection of residents. The future of the short -term rental market depends on the effectiveness of these regulations and the ability to reconcile the interests of tourists, hosts and local communities.
