Lodging refers to the use of a short-term dwelling, usually by renting the living space or sometimes through some other arrangement. People who travel and stay away from home for more than a day need lodging for sleep, rest, food, safety, shelter from cold temperatures or rain, storage of luggage and access to common household functions.[1] Lodging is a form of the sharing economy.

Lodging is done in a hotel, motel, hostel, or inn, a private home (commercial, i.e. a bed and breakfast, a guest house, a vacation rental, or non-commercially, as in certain homestays or the home of friends), in a tent, caravan/campervan (often on a campsite). Lodgings may be self-catering, whereby no food is provided, but cooking facilities are available.

Lodging is offered by an owner of real property or a leasehold estate, including the hotel industry, hospitality industry, real estate investment trusts, and owner-occupancy houses.

Lodging can be facilitated by an intermediary such as a travel website.

Regulations by jurisdiction

[edit]

Regulation of short-term rentals can include requirements for hosts to have business licenses, payment of hotel taxes and compliance with building, city and zoning standards. The hotel industry has lobbied for stricter regulations on short-term home rental[2] and in addition to government-imposed restrictions, many homeowner associations also limit short term rentals.[3]

Europe

[edit]
  • Amsterdam: Hosts can rent their properties for up to 30 nights per year to a group of no more than four at a time.[4] Short-term rentals are banned in certain parts of the city.[5]
  • Barcelona: Vacation apartments are subject to the highest rate of property tax; platforms must share data with regulators.[6][7][8]
  • Berlin: Short-term rentals require permission from authorities. Hosts can rent individual rooms with the condition that they live in most of the property.[9]
  • Ireland: Short-term rentals are restricted to a maximum of 90 days per year for primary residences; registration is required with local authorities and planning permission is required where a property changes use from private residence to full-time short-term rental. However, compliance with these requirements is minimal, with one study finding only 38 listed properties had the required planning permission, out of 25,000.[10][11][12]
  • London: Short-term rentals are limited to 90 days per year.[13][14]
  • Lucerne: Short-term apartment rentals are limited to 90 days per year. [15] [16]

  • Paris: Hosts can rent their homes for no more than 120 days a year[19] and must register their listing with the town hall.[20]
  • Rome: Short-term rental sites are required to withhold a 21% rental income tax.[21]
  • Venice: Hosts must collect and remit tourist taxes.[22][23]
  • Vienna: Short-term rentals are banned in specific "residential zones" within the city, with the exemption of apartments used primarily for the host's own residential needs.[24]

  • Miami: Short-term rentals are banned in most neighborhoods, in part due to lobbying efforts of the hotel industry.[35][36]
