Gov’t planning restrictions on owners of short-term rentalsThe government is considering introducing restrictions on the utilization of properties advertised on short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb and HomeAway for holiday accommodation. The restrictions will be imposed on individual owners as well as investors and professional agents who benefit from the new market.1) No more than two properties can be utilized as short-term rentals by the same tax registration number.2) No property can be leased out for more than 90 days per calendar year; for islands with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants, the limit has been set at 60 days.3) For the limit of 90 days (or 60 days for small islands) to be exceeded, hosts will have to prove that their total rental revenues do not exceed 12,000 euros per annum.It is not certain that these restrictions will apply to the entire country: The law allows for their enforcement only in the areas where housing has to be protected.
