Italy has banned self-check-ins under a new rule it claims is necessary to prevent possible terrorism, so the days of showing up late at an Airbnb and opening the key box to let oneself out are shortly to come to an end.
According to Italy’s Interior Ministry, law enforcement agents will be sent to make sure that key boxes and key pads are removed from self-check-in homes, a measure that has been applauded by some who worry that the well-liked tourist spot may become overrun with visitors.
Italian legislation has become more stringent as a result of the ban. No matter how long they stay, all renters must register with the local police station; nevertheless, in recent years, property managers have begun sending photocopies.
