Ongoing parliamentary work on national regulations \u2014 including, among other measures, the consent of housing communities, rental limits of up to 120 days per year in municipal zones and the possibility for local governments to introduce restricted zones \u2014 points to a further tightening of the rules. According to business representatives, the changes will limit the freedom of both institutional and individual investors, who have so far driven the apartment segment aimed mainly at booking platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShort-term rental should be regulated. We are aware of how significantly the scale of this type of activity has changed. A register of apartments used for short-term rental should be introduced, and entities operating commercially in this area should pay all related dues and act in a way that does not violate the principles of social coexistence. Rental activity should be conducted in such a way that bad incidents do not affect the image of the entire sector. However, it should be noted that entrepreneurs often have no influence over who rents an apartment under a short-term rental arrangement,\u201d says Hanna Mojsiuk, president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce in Szczecin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe law should serve as an ordering measure, but in the spirit of deregulation we also recognise the arguments of short-term rental entrepreneurs. They point out, for example, that the obligation to obtain consent from housing communities and building owners for commercial activity through apartment rentals could lead to hundreds of apartments disappearing from the market in large cities and tourist resorts. This would cause a sharp rise in prices, including hotel prices, and would have a major impact on tourism,\u201d Mojsiuk adds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price_increases_in_tourist_facilities_and_hotels_are_almost_certain\"><\/span>Price increases in tourist facilities and hotels are almost certain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The regulations increase transparency in the rental market, particularly for tax authorities. In the opinion of entrepreneurs, good solutions have been mixed with measures that may generate negative consequences, including for tourism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe draft law on short-term rental is probably needed to reduce the inconvenience experienced by residents who live permanently in the same location. However, we must not forget that short-term rental is often the only reasonably priced alternative for Polish families planning to spend their holidays in Poland. Construction is a driving force of our economy and, both directly and indirectly, a source of jobs for millions of people. We must act in a thoughtful and logical manner so as not to suppress this segment of construction and, as a result, force domestic investors to buy rental properties abroad. It is partly because of the difficulty of predicting real estate regulations that many of them are already deciding to invest capital in markets in other countries,\u201d says \u0141ukasz Szyku\u0107, president of the West Pomeranian branch of the Polish Association of Developers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no doubt that introducing restrictions will lead to price increases in tourist facilities, including hotels. Demand for seaside tourism, as well as tourism in large cities such as Wroc\u0142aw and Krak\u00f3w, is enormous, while the supply of apartments for rent may decrease significantly,\u201d says real estate market expert Miros\u0142aw Kr\u00f3l.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should look for good solutions that improve the comfort of life for permanent residents of buildings where short-term rental is conducted, but we should not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I can imagine that the introduction of such regulations will cause many apartments from the secondary market to return to the market as properties for sale,\u201d Kr\u00f3l says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cRegulations increase market transparency, but at the same time they favour professional companies specialising in rental services,\u201d says \u0141ukasz Szyku\u0107, president of the West Pomeranian branch of the Polish Association of Developers.
