Section 3A of the Planning and Development, Maritime and Valuation Act 2022 provides for the introduction of a new regulatory regime in relation to the short-term letting sector, specifically non-principal private residences advertised for letting in the designated Rent Pressure Zones.
My Department is presently engaging with the relevant stakeholder groups on the detailed operational arrangements that will apply in relation to the measure. It is intended to conclude the consultation process as soon as possible. Further engagement is also required with the European Commission on the legislation under the notification requirements of the Technical Regulation on Information Society (TRIS) Directive, before a new regulatory framework is finalised.
