This is currently the most pressing question among Budapest hosts. The legal situation is complex:
- The Supreme Court confirmed in November 2025 that district municipalities have the right to restrict short-term rental.
- Nevertheless, individual and collective legal remedies still exist — the exact options depend on the specific district regulation.
- Several owner groups are organising to challenge the regulations — it is worth joining them.
- Arguments based on property rights and freedom of enterprise can be made to the Constitutional Court.
Important: always consult a property law specialist before taking legal action. General advice does not replace personalised legal opinion.
