Law regulating self-catering accommodation rentals in Cyprus finally enacted
February 24, 2020
On Friday January 17, the House of Representatives passed a new law, N. 9(I)/2020 (also “the Law”), regulating the registration and operation of self-catering accommodation, which was subsequently published in the government’s Official Gazette on February 7, 2020.
The Law is directed at operators currently utilising online platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com and it was passed by an overwhelming majority of 52 MPs in favour and two MPs against. Under its provisions, owners of self-catering accommodation will now have to follow a set of regulations and formalities in order to legally provide their services.
