If the law is enacted, it will be an offence to advertise properties without correct planning permission in rent pressure zones from September 1st.
Tighter restrictions on short-term lets are set to be introduced in rent pressure zones.
Under the plans, It will be an offence for property owners and short-term lettings websites such as Airbnb to advertise rentals that do not have the required planning permission.
Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien said the Cabinet had approved stronger regulatory controls on the short-term letting of non-principal private residences in rent pressure zones (RPZs).
The plans aim to strengthen regulatory controls on the short-term letting for a second home.
The amendment, if enacted, will mean from September 1st users on online platforms like airbnb won't be able to advertise properties in these areas, if they don't have the right planning permission.
The planning permission in question, obtained through the local authority, states a property must be approved to change from residental to either a short-term or holiday home let.
Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien hopes the new controls will lead to more homes on the long-term rental market in RPZs, where rents are highest and where households have the greatest difficulty finding affordable accommodation.
