Vacation Rentals

Under the Bermuda Rent Increases Control Act, a vacation rental refers to a private home or apartment that the owner chooses not to rent to long-term local residents. Instead, the owner offers the property as a short-term rental to visitors, such as tourists or business travelers, who stay for a temporary period.

General Guidance & Who Needs to Register

Vacation rentals are typically listed on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO, or advertised directly by the homeowner.
