EU Act ties short-let caps to registers
Nomads & CommunitiesBackground
The Computer & Communications Industry Association, a trade body for technology companies, runs a Brussels Arm, CCIA Europe, which speaks for its members in European Union policy debates.
On 9 September 2026 CCIA Europe joined EU Travel Tech and the European Holiday Home Association in saying that the Commission's European Affordable Housing Act proposal (COM(2026) 599) lacked independent oversight and reliable data. Under the proposal, a restriction needs an average home to cost eight or more years' disposable income per head, plus three years of evidence of harm, and it lapses after five years without renewal.
The association's interest lies in that evidence. Because the proposal makes any CAP conditional on registration and platform data, the reliability of the data the association disputes decides whether a restriction can stand.
CCIA Europe questions the short-let evidence
CCIA Europe was one of three industry voices that criticised the European Affordable Housing Act on the day the Commission proposed it, 9 September 2026. It argued that the draft lacked Independent oversight and reliable data. The association speaks for technology companies, so the objection came from the tech side of the trade rather than from hosts.
Under the proposal, a city may CAP short lets only if it already enforces host registration under EU Regulation 2024/1028, the rule that obliges platforms to share listing data. Measures a city adopts before the Act enters into force are exempt under Article 14. With no annual limit on nights in the text, the quality of registration data becomes the test of where a CAP is lawful.
