Short-term letting services of furnished single-family houses, dwellings or parts thereof, provided under a single contract for a period of no more than 30 days, whether on a permanent or temporary basis, through online marketplaces.

Private Member’s Bill on short-term lettings (Parliamentary Bill No. 2353)

The bill contains requirements falling within the scope of Article 15(2) of Directive 2006/123/EC, in particular:

1) Article 15(2)(a) – quantitative restrictions: the possibility for local councils to impose limits on the number of days and months of short-term lettings, and to designate zones where such lettings are prohibited;
(2) Article 15(2)(g) – registration requirements: obligation to be entered in the Central List of Tourist Accommodation Facilities and to obtain an identification number.
The bill also constitutes a national implementing act transposing Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 April 2024 on the collection and provision of data on short-term residential letting services and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 (OJ EU L of 2024, p. 1028), which applies from 20 May 2026. This Regulation has direct effect; however, it requires Member States to designate competent authorities, establish a single digital access point and ensure mechanisms for monitoring and enforcing the obligations of online platforms. The bill incorporates these requirements into Polish law.
The bill concerns information society services insofar as it regulates the obligations of online platforms acting as intermediaries in short-term lettings (information and reporting obligations, and requirements regarding the adaptation of the online interface)
