erators of AirBnB listings say they need clearer regulations on short-term renting in order to operate without running afoul of the law.
RÚV reports that there are some 1,600 locations in Reykjavík that are listed on AirBnB. These listings are houses, apartments, rooms, or even bedspace within a room.
Sölvi Melax, who represents numerous short-term renters in Reykjavík, told reporters that clearer regulations are needed.
“There need to be clearer lines,” he told reporters. “Regarding what’s a business and what’s side income. When are you a company that operates apartments, even dozens of apartments, and when are you just an individual renting out their home?”
As it is, Sölvi says, the system is unnecessarily complicated and in need of reform.
