EU Commission plans stricter rules for Airbnb & Co
Currently, different regulations apply in Europe, and this is now to be standardized. The affordability of housing is to be restored in this way.
The European Union Commission has proposed a solution to the housing crisis in tourism hotspots, which they claim is partially caused by short-term rentals like Airbnb. The new "Affordable Housing Act" aims to create a uniform and objective framework for identifying areas with housing shortages. The EU Commission argues that the problem has worsened in recent decades and remains unresolved.
Official regulations remain in place, and the EU Commission will not dictate solutions but rather empowers local governments. The issue is complex, and the EU Commission believes that only comprehensive measures across various fields can address the problem.
