I was recently evicted from my apartment in a city in Norway experiencing similar growth in short-term rentals. The rental on that apartment was around €750 (same for my roommate). Apparently, during high season in the winter similar apartments goes for ~€830 a night. High season is 3 months in the winter, but seemingly that is enough to outcompete longterm tenants.


There is 12 months in a year. So that can be covered in 12 days... So even half a month would be more... Seems broken...

I have nothing against short or medium term rentals. If they are limited percentage of housing as total. This percentage is rather low.


You have no protections against this where you live? That would be near impossible where I live (Ontario).


Unfortunately not due to co-living with the landlord.
