SHORT TERM REAL ESTATE LEASE AGREEMENTS VIA ON LINE PLATFORMS

Short term lease agreements of any kind of real estate property via sophisticated online platforms (e.g. Airbnb, Booking, HomeAway), combined with additional services, have already conquered the virgin Greek real estate market during the devastating economic crisis as an answer to the exhausting Greek overtaxation, thus causing serious legal, social and fi nancial disruption. This new book explores legal issues and solutions regarding contractual terms between platforms, hosts, guests and property managers, interpretation or judicial amendment and completion of existing obsolete building and condominium establishment regulations, unfair competition to hotel and touristic enterprises, shortage of property available for long term lease and, last but not least, special tax regulations.
