Explore practical Compliance and Rules guides for vacation rental hosts and property managers.
Entering a new market is easier to plan backwards from the permit than forwards from the property. Five sections cover most of what a registry asks for, and the headings travel even when the content does not.
A cap rarely arrives as a single number. It comes as a set of dates, exemptions and reporting duties that decide whether it touches you at all. Read it as a sequence of clauses, and the number becomes the last thing you need.
When a city labels part of its housing market stressed, the short-let rules around it often change shape rather than disappear. This guide separates the label from the measure, the proposal from the rule, and the cost from the duty.
Owning from abroad does not remove a registration duty, it changes who has to file and by when. Two questions settle most of the confusion, and the records you keep decide how smoothly the filing goes.
Coastal and city rules restrict the same activity for different reasons, so they ask for different paperwork. Sorting a market into one list or the other saves the search that was never going to fit. Read the reason behind the wording before the rule itself.
A night cap and a registration duty both restrict short-let supply, but they bind at different moments and ask different things of a host. This guide sets out what each lever does, how to tell them apart, and why the wording decides more than the label.
Two European markets tightened short-let access in one year with two different mechanisms. This guide compares a permit freeze with a supply cap, what each leaves open for a new entrant, and how to read your own market against both.
When a tourist levy and a platform percentage are both taken from the same advertised price, that one figure carries two deductions rather than one. This guide sets out the two charges, the base each one reads, why the numbers are local, and the records that let you answer a question months later. It is general guidance, not tax advice.
In many European markets, registration now sits at the point of listing rather than months later, so a quarterly check beats an annual scramble. This guide sets out what a check covers, where registration now falls in the listing flow, and how to read a local update without over-reacting. It is general guidance, not legal advice.
A private building rule can end a short-let plan long before a city does. This guide walks the approval layers above a city licence, what a building rule can and cannot do, and how to build the file that answers a board.
