Important news for tourists in Turkey: The limitation of rent on the AirBnB platform for 100 days

The Turkish authorities have announced a tightening of the rules for short-term rental housing for tourist purposes, including renting through the well-known AirBnB platform. These changes are aimed at ensuring the security and quality control of rental in the country.

Now, in order to rent a house through AirBnB in Turkey, tourists and landlords will have to follow the new rules:

Special Permit: Now every landlord is required to obtain a special permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey. This permit ensures that the accommodation meets safety and quality standards.

Documenting and accounting of income: Landlords should more carefully keep records of their housing and income received from renting. This will help the state to monitor financial transactions more effectively.

Transfer of personal data: Now landlords must transfer personal data of tourists to law enforcement agencies. This is a measure aimed at ensuring the safety of tourists and preventing possible violations.

Fines: Fines are provided for renting housing without a permit. The first fine is 100,000 liras, the landlord is given 15 days to issue a permit. If the permit is not received within the prescribed period, a repeated fine of 500,000 liras is imposed. Landlords who continue to violate the rules will be fined one million lira.

Restriction on days: According to the new rules, the rental of housing on the AirBnB platform is limited to 100 days per stay. This means that tourists and landlords must now monitor compliance with this restriction.

These changes are designed to improve the quality and safety of short-term rental housing in Turkey. Travelers planning to use AirBnB in Turkey should take these innovations into account in their plans.

The new rules may also affect landlords, and they should be prepared to comply with stricter requirements and document their activities more carefully. Turkey strives to provide the highest level of security and service for everyone who visits this beautiful country.

We recommend that all tourists and landlords carefully study these rules to avoid unpleasant surprises during the trip.
