The Munich market
Munich's Oktoberfest, Alpine access and strong business travel keep its short-term-rental market busy across the year, especially during the autumn festival season. Hosts here pay typical OTA commissions and face regulated letting rules. A direct-booking website helps Munich hosts capture event-week guests at full rates.
Short-term-rental rules
Munich applies permit requirements for short-term rentals of entire apartments, and housing-association rules can apply. Requirements vary, so always verify the current local rules before listing.
