Regional law 86/2016in effect since 01.03.2019

concerns the obligation of communication to the Municipality, established by art.70,
communication to be made electronically,
communication, within 30 days from the signing of the first lease agreement (regional council resolutions 1267 and 1462 of 2018, see below)

The law establishes that whoever leases buildings or portions of them for tourist purposes, even in the case of indirect management (for example through a real estate agency), communicates, by electronic means, to the Municipality in whose territory the apartments are located:
a) information on the activity carried out, useful for statistical purposes,
b) any business form of carrying out the activity.

What does the lessor need to communicate to the municipality?

- period during which the accomodation is intended to be rented
- number of rooms and beds available;
- websites where the accomodation is advertised,
- any business form of carrying out the activity.

If more than one tourist accomodation is rented?

The communication concerns each individual rented accomodation: each apartment is assigned a specific identification code.
So if, for example, the lessor has 2 lodgings rented for tourist purposes- whether they are located in the same Municipality of in two different Municipalities –must make 2 communications.

Once the communication has been made, no further obligations are required from the landlord.

And if there are changes? - communicate withing 30 days of the occurrence of the related event

by choice of the owner is no longer used for tourist rental
