Checking Into an Italy Airbnb or Short-term Rental Just Got a Bit More Complicated

^{Published on 2024-12-04 20:06:29 - Hubert Carizone, N@N}

Visitors to Italy will now have an extra step in their Airbnb check-in process as the country has banned lockboxes for home rentals.

Italy has introduced a new regulation banning the use of lockboxes for Airbnb and other short-term rental keys, effective from June 2024. This measure aims to enhance security and reduce the visibility of short-term rentals in residential areas, which has been a point of contention among local residents. Instead of lockboxes, property owners must now meet guests in person to hand over keys or use smart lock technology. This change is part of a broader effort to regulate the booming short-term rental market, which has been criticized for contributing to housing shortages and neighborhood disturbances. The ban seeks to foster a more controlled and community-friendly environment by ensuring that property owners or their representatives are directly involved in the check-in process.
