Overview

• Tar del Lazio annulled the Ministry of Interior’s November circular that mandated in-person guest checks and banned key boxes for short-term rentals
• The court found the de visu requirement conflicted with efforts to reduce administrative burdens and lacked data support under the principle of proportionality
• Hosts can now reinstall secure key boxes for self check-in, overturning the Viminale ban on remote access devices
• Aigab has opened discussions with the government to obtain legal recognition of remote identification technologies in rental regulations
• Local administrations that enacted rules based on the annulled circular must now reassess or repeal their short-term rental guidelines
