Slovak Parliament Approves Registry for Short-Term Rental Platforms

Slovakia's parliament approved legislation establishing a registry for short-term rental accommodations, aimed at increasing oversight and data collection on properties offered through platforms like Airbnb. The new law requires hosts to register their properties in a government database to operate legally. Starting in 2027, hosts who fail to register will face financial penalties. The measure represents the government's effort to better regulate the growing short-term rental market and ensure compliance with tax and safety requirements while gathering comprehensive data on rental activity across the country.
