Short-term rental regulations are tightening once again—this time in the heart of France. The city of Nice has introduced strict caps on short-term rentals, signaling a growing global trend. From Europe to the US, UK, and Australia, governments are stepping up enforcement, leaving Airbnb hosts and property managers searching for smarter ways to stay compliant and profitable.
In New York, a recent enforcement push saw over 4,000 short-term rental listings removed from Airbnb. London and Sydney have also implemented mandatory registration and capped rental days. Municipalities are ramping up enforcement using digital monitoring tools to track listings and crack down on unlicensed rentals.
Any host relying on multiple listings or operating in grey zones should prepare for more rules and less flexibility. The best move now is to stay compliant, automate admin tasks, and shift focus from volume to quality and yield.
