New obligations for owners of short-term rental properties (Booking, Airbnb, etc.)

From October 1, 2025, Law 5170/2025 comes into effect, establishing the new operating framework for Short-Term Rental Accommodation. In this context, it is mandatory to have civil liability insurance for any death, bodily injury and/or material damage that may be caused to third parties by the use and operation of the residential facilities.

More specifically, from the above date, properties available for short-term rental must meet the following minimum specifications:

  • Have natural lighting, adequate ventilation and air conditioning.
  • Be insured for civil liability against damage or accidents.
  • Be equipped with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, leakage relay (anti-electric shock) and escape signs.
  • Be accompanied by a sworn statement from an electrician installer.
