What about the scheme in plain facts?

Authority: The Ministry of Culture and Tourism issues permits, and may exercise that power through governorships. The Ministry sets permit and plaque fees.

What about building consent and limits?

- You must submit a unanimous decision of all unit owners in the building approving tourism rental. - In estates made up of several buildings, this unanimous approval is required only for the building that contains your unit, and a copy of the permit goes to the estate management. - In buildings with more than three independent units, a permit can be issued for at most 25 percent of the units to the same lessor. - If the same lessor has more than five permitted units in one building, the applica

Do I need a permit for a one-week rental?

Yes. The law covers lettings of up to 100 days, and requires the permit before you sign the contract.

Do my neighbours have to agree?

The law requires a unanimous decision of all unit owners in the building. Estates of several buildings need it for your own building.

Can an agent list my home?

Intermediaries may not broker residences without a permit, and the law names licensed group A travel agencies as the route when someone other than the lessor runs the rentals.

What happens to platforms?

Platforms that do not remove flagged content within 24 hours of a Ministry warning face a fine per residence.

How much is the permit?

The Ministry sets it. The law does not state an amount.

What about once you are licensed?

Registration makes you legal. Distribution is a separate job.
