New rules for short term rentals

Geneva's Grand Conseil has tightened controls on short-term rentals without creating a new surveillance body, as originally demanded

MPs voted last week for stricter enforcement of the 90-day annual cap on Airbnb-style letting, agreeing that a new digital tool and official rental numbers are enough.

More than 2,600 tourist listings are currently removing homes from the long-term rental market in a canton with a chronic housing shortage.

The State Council plans to extend host-registration rules to all landlords, not just hotels, and to flag any address that exceeds 90 nights to the cantonal authorities.
