For many property owners, there has been some confusion about whether it is obligatory to register with the local authorities when they or their friends and family use their vacation property and this is not associated with letting.

When renting out a property, you have to pay taxes on the income. The tenants must be reported to the local authorities. This is also the case with hotels and pensions. But this has been the case for a long time and serves security. Only in this way can control mechanisms work.
