Might Airbnb Lets of Apartments Bought by Foreigners in Hungary be Tightened?
The opposition Jobbik-Conservatives want rules for Airbnb-type short-term lets of apartments bought by foreign investors tightened, the party’s deputy leader said.

Properties let out to tourists in Budapest and big cities distort the rental housing market, Dániel Z Kárpát told a press conference, proposing a 90 day annual limit for such lets and owners paying 27% VAT instead of the current 5.

Owners could then rent out apartments to university students, say, in the remaining nine months, he said, adding that Jobbik will soon submit a related bill to parliament.
