Ireland, Vienna, and Madison implemented new short-term rental regulations including mandatory registration systems, occupancy caps, and permit restrictions that could affect broader industry trends.
- Ireland will launch a national STR registry on December 1, 2026, with mandatory registration required by December 31 for all properties rented 21 nights or less.
- Vienna enforces a strict 90-day annual cap on short-term rentals in non-residential zones, with fines up to €50,000 for violations.
- Properties exceeding Vienna’s 90-day limit must obtain special permits from the city’s building authority.
- These international regulatory changes reflect growing government efforts to balance tourism revenue with housing availability.
