Will airbnb soon be banned?

Restrictions and bans on Airbnb are increasing in various major cities around the world. The main reason for these measures is to protect the local housing market and combat the housing shortage. Airbnb and similar platforms contribute to the shortage and price increase of rental housing by converting living space into vacation rentals.

Examples of cities with strict rules are

Barcelona: The short-term letting of private rooms is to be completely banned. 

AmsterdamRentals are limited to a maximum of 30 nights per year, unless special permission has been obtained.

London and New YorkThere are upper limits for the rental period and strict registration requirements.

These regulations are intended to ensure that sufficient affordable housing is maintained for the locals and that the negative effects of mass tourism are contained. The measures are enforced by local governments and often include high penalties for violations. In Paris, individual landlords have to pay up to 15,000 euros for violations.

The European Court of Justice has also confirmed these measures, as they are in the public interest and the same objective cannot be achieved by more lenient regulations.

In addition to Europe, similar restrictions are also in place in North America and Asia to protect the housing market and improve the quality of life for residents.
