Schönherr Rechtsanwälte GmbH explores recent legal changes affecting short-term rentals in Austria and the Czech Republic. In Vienna, new regulations limit rentals to 90 days per year per flat and require landlords to maintain their primary residence at the property. Stricter conditions and penalties apply for non-compliance.

The Czech Republic is also moving towards tighter enforcement, with proposed legislation that would allow local authorities to cap the number of rental days and reclassify properties used for tourist accommodation.

These developments reflect a broader trend towards balancing tourism with the need to preserve long-term housing for residents.
