The European Union is planning to introduce new regulations for short-term rentals to combat housing shortages in many cities. This follows the example set by popular tourist destinations such as Paris, Barcelona, and Venice, which have already taken measures against the impacts of short-term rentals.

In this context, the lobby group has warned of potential disproportionate restrictions that could arise from the proposed rules. While the specific details of the regulations are not yet known, they are expected to be presented in the coming months.
