The Regulatory Landscape
Mid-term rentals as a compliant, sustainable alternative
Cities worldwide are increasingly restricting short-term vacation rentals to protect housing availability. According to a Purdue University study, short-term rental bans led to a 2.7% decrease in long-term rental prices in affected areas.
Mid-term rentals (30+ days) typically fall outside these restrictions, offering a compliant, regulatory-safe alternative for both guests and property owners.

Paris
90-day annual limit for primary residences (reduced from 120 days in January 2025)
