Anyone who maintains or operates a self-catering accommodation without a registration license, or whose registration license has been revoked, is subject to imprisonment not exceeding one year or a fine not exceeding €5,000, or both of these penalties.
According to an announcement by the Ministry of Tourism regarding the “Regulation of the Establishment and Operation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodations Law,” the entrepreneur/manager of each self-catering accommodation may advertise and/or rent out the self-catering accommodation, provided that it is registered in the Registry of Self-Catering Accommodations and has obtained a registration license and registration number from the Ministry of Tourism, which must be stated in the advertisement and/or promotion of the accommodation, as well as in all related transactions.
For the purpose of registering self-catering accommodations in the registry of the Ministry of Tourism, there is an online platform through which interested parties can register their accommodation and obtain the registration license.
According to the provisions of the relevant legislation, anyone who maintains or operates a self-catering accommodation without a registration license, or whose registration license has been revoked, is guilty of an offense and, upon conviction, is subject to imprisonment not exceeding one (1) year or a fine not exceeding five thousand euros (€5,000), or both of these penalties. If the violation continues after the conviction, they are guilty of a further offense and are subject to an additional fine not exceeding two hundred euros (€200) for each day the violation continues.
