Bill on Renting Out Residences for Tourism Purposes Adopted...

The “Bill on the Renting of Residences for Tourism Purposes and Amendments to Certain Laws,” drafted to bring under control the rental activities publicly known as “unregistered daily-rental homes,” was discussed and adopted in the Plan and Budget Committee of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM). In the coming period, the bill will enter into force after being debated in the General Assembly of the TBMM.

The regulation covers provisions on the general principles for renting out residences for tourism purposes for periods of less than 100 days at a time, the issuance of permit certificates, administrative sanctions, and the legislation to which residences rented for tourism purposes will be subject. According to the amendment made by the motion adopted in the committee, the rental activities of high-quality residences may also be carried out through a residence-management operation. In this case, the permit certificate will be issued in the name of the company carrying out the residence-management operation.

The meeting was attended by TBMM Plan and Budget Committee Chair Mehmet Muş and committee members, along with Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism Nadir Alpaslan, Director General of Investments and Establishments Neşe Çıldık, bureaucrats from the relevant ministries, representatives of tourism-sector NGOs including TÜROB Secretary General İsmail Taşdemir, and members of the press.
