Geneva is moving to tighten controls on short-term rentals amid a housing shortage.
Authorities plan to introduce a mandatory register for properties listed on platforms like Airbnb, aiming to enforce the current 90-day annual rental limit.
Officials say the measure is needed to protect a market with extremely low vacancy rates and curb abuses.
They believe many properties exceed the legal limit, with some effectively operating as full-time rentals.
