Just two days after the European elections sent a message to all directions, and while the government is in the process of being reshuffled, the Prime Minister seems to be reconsidering the issue of restrictions on short-term rentals.<\/p>\n
In an interview in Alpha and to Antonis Schroiter, he stated that he is considering if interventions should be made.<\/p>\n
The prime minister said:<\/p>\n
“We will look more effectively at issues that people have told us about. The issue of housing, the issue of, say, having a new My House programme. It’s a personal bet for me to find another significant amount of money to run a new “My House” program, like the first one, for many more young people, and we even said we would take it up to the age of 50, to get a home.<\/p>\n
We’ll be looking at whether we need to intervene<\/strong> – we’re not ready to say that yet but we will be very soon – the question is whether we need to intervene in short-term rentals again to free up more homes to rent.”<\/p>\n Let’s remember that at the end of May, in another television interview<\/a>, Kyriakos Mitsotakis had stated that the government is considering the possibility of imposing a time limit during the year on short-term rentals, mainly in Athens.<\/p>\n Watch the interview of Mr. Mitsotakis here.
