📖 A recent Chekin and Lodgify webinar highlighted the complexities of guest registration with the Italian Police (Questura). Renting to tourists requires compliance with local administrative and fiscal regulations, including registration with the local municipality, Alloggiati Web portal, possibly ISTAT, and obtaining a SCIA and an ISTAT code. Guests' data must be reported to Alloggiati Web and ISTAT depending on local regulations, covering all adults staying, not just the head of the household. Short-term rentals face different regulations from long-term ones, including rental day limits and tax implications. Tools like Chekin facilitate guest registration compliance and can integrate with platforms like Airbnb. Fiscal responsibilities include reporting all rental income to Agenzia delle Entrate. Non-compliance may lead to fines, and in the event of technical issues with portals like Alloggiati Web, a manual guest registration record should be kept. Compliance with local laws is essential for remote check-ins.
