cases, outside the law; and, last but not least, the indiscriminate complaint of the local population caused, fundamentally, by the exit from the real estate market of houses for rent to the tourist market and the consequent rise in prices on the rental market which stimulated a decrease in supply. b) From the Handbook for being a responsible host to the City Portal At this early stage, the platforms are certainly cornered and begin to implement some measures aimed at encouraging providers of accommodation services in VUTs to present the appropriate prior notification or responsible declaration of commencement of activity and to register in the appropriate tourism register. Thus, the platforms are beginning to include, among the information they provide to future hosts, data on the specific obligations, as a result of the specific regulations - tourism and also tax - that they must comply with to carry out the activity of providing accommodation. One example is the Airbnb platform, which has adopted some measures, albeit limited, for this purpose. There are some references in this regard in the link "Being a responsible host", which includes some questions on compliance with various regulations, albeit in very generic terms. Information on local regulations is provided on the platform, but in any case, it is not precise information10. Also, the Vrbo platform (formerly HomeAway) offers information on the applicable regulations per Autonomous Community, in a more detailed way, but excludes itself from any responsibility11 10 "This article is not exhaustive and cannot be considered legal or tax advice, so we recommend that you do your research on these issues.
