Milan Court Draws Line Between STR and Hotel Activity
Ruling 8753/2025 confirms simple short-term rentals are lawful in Milan condominiums. But daily cleaning, reception, and hotel branding triggered a shutdown order at just two properties.
Regulation Radar
The Tribunale di Milano issued ruling 8753/2025 (published May 2026) ordering the cessation of a short-term rental activity — but not because it was an STR. The court found the activity had crossed into “para-alberghiera” (hotel-like) territory. For legitimate Milan STR operators, this ruling is actually protective: it confirms that simple short-term rental is a lawful use of residential property.
