Cyprus has a problem. Many homes are for short rent. This is happening fast. Many people want to rent these homes. The government wants to fix this. New rules will help organize rentals. This makes it hard for people to find homes.
Many more homes are now registered. In 2023, there were over 4,700 homes. Now, there are about 12,000 homes. This is a big change. Paphos, Famagusta, and Larnaca are popular.
Also, many homes are not registered. Last year, people told the government about 81 illegal places. This is a worry. It means less money for the country. It is hard to find homes. Prices for homes go up.
The Cyprus Parliament made a new law. It follows new rules from Europe. These rules will make rentals clearer. The government is checking homes. They look for illegal rentals. They stop people who break rules.
It is hard to control all homes. But the new law will help. They want to have short stays. They also want to help people who live there. This is important for the future.
