Csilla Fazekas said consultations on the subject with the mayors of neighboring districts had been initiated.

She noted that District VI had banned short-term rentals from January, following a referendum, and a number of other districts had weighed similar measures.

She said that rental fees in District VI had edged down 1% in January from the same month a year earlier as the number of long-term rentals climbed 28%, while rents in District I had risen 4%.
