Moratorium & 2027

# The Budapest Airbnb moratorium: what applies, and what comes in 2027?

Under current law, new short-term rental registrations in Budapest are paused until the end of 2026. On 1 January 2027 a new chapter starts — with very different conditions district by district.

Reflects the rules as of September 2026

1 January 2025

**Moratorium starts**

31 December 2026

**Moratorium ends under current law**

1 January 2027

**New registrations reopen**

Trade Act (Kertv.) § 11/H — Act LVI of 2024

**Legal basis**

## What does the moratorium mean?

Under the act adopted in late 2024, no new private or other accommodation (magánszálláshely / egyéb szálláshely) can be registered anywhere in Budapest until 31 December 2026. Already-registered rentals keep operating — subject to their district's rules.

## 2027: reopening — but not everywhere, and not without limits

Under current law, new registrations become possible again from 1 January 2027. Where, and under what conditions, is decided by district decrees — and several inner districts have already adopted stricter rules. Owners who prepare in time can be among the first to register.

## District conditions in 2027

**District VI (Terézváros)**
The total ban stays in force independently of the moratorium — no new short-term rental can start here in 2027 either.

**District VII (Erzsébetváros)**
A new rental can only operate with the building's express consent (0 permitted days without it).

**District VIII (Józsefváros)**
Under a concept the district adopted in June 2026, a quota system would limit new rentals from 2027 — the decree has not been adopted yet, so the exact conditions are not known.

**All other districts**
No day-cap at present — but rules can change at any time, so it pays to follow developments.
