The regional ranking, black jersey for Friuli Venezia Giulia, while Basilicata is the most virtuous.

Milan, November 2024 – There are still a few weeks left to comply with the new decree law which from 1 January 2025 will provide that any real estate unit intended for tourist rental must be equipped with the so-called CIN, or the National Identification Code, as well as the minimum equipment of certain safety devices and the presentation to the Municipality of the Certificate of Commencement of Activity (SCIA) Report.

An adjustment that will involve the more than 548,700 facilities registered in Italy, and which to date – according to data from the Ministry of Tourism - sees 37% of them have not yet requested the identification code. In particular, the black jersey goes to Friuli Venezia Giulia where as many as 60% of the facilities do not have CIN, followed by Marche with 45%, then Liguria with 44%, Abruzzo (42%), Puglia (41%), Umbria and Veneto (38%), Sicily and Calabria (37%), Piedmont and Tuscany (36%), Lazio, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna (32%),  Sardinia (31%) and Molise (29%). Among the most virtuous regions, Basilicata stands out, where more than 84% of the owners have already applied for the CIN, as well as Trentino-Alto Adige and Valle d’Aosta (74%) and Campania (72%), completing the podium.

The CIN, then, once obtained, must be displayed outside the building where the rented apartment is located, as well as be indicated in every ad of the property, both in print and online, in particular for ads published on the so-called O.T.A., online travel agencies (Airbnb, Booking, etc.).

In the event of non-compliance with the new requirements, heavy penalties are envisaged, warn the real estate legal experts of the multidisciplinary professional firm Rödl & Partner: “The performance of the short-term tourist rental for a property without the CIN is sanctioned with a fine of 800 to 8,000 euros – underlines the lawyer. Gennaro Sposato of Rödl & Partner – while failure to display is sanctioned with a fine of 500 to 5,000 euros, depending on the size of the property as well as with the immediate removal of the irregular advertisement published. Then, in the event of non-existence of the safety requirements of the systems, the relevant regional or state sanctions are applied, while in the absence of detectors and fire extinguishers, a fine of 600 to 6,000 euros is applied  for ascertained violation.”

But that’s not all because among the new requirements introduced by the decree law it is necessary, in the case of carrying out the tourist or short-term rental activity in an entrepreneurial form, that the owner of the activity presents the Certificate of Commencement of Activity (SCIA)  report at the Single Desk for Productive Activities of his Municipality “In the event of non-compliance, a fine of between 2,000 and 10,000 euros will be imposed, depending on the size of the property,” explains the legal expert from Rödl & Partner.
