Airbnb law change approaching – here's how to ensure your apartment continues to generate income in the future

Short-term accommodation is undergoing a period of transition. Airbnb and other platforms have made accommodation an everyday occurrence for tens of thousands of Finns, but at the same time, regulations are tightening.

The amendment to the Building Act prepared by the government will provide a clearer framework for short-term rentals, particularly for investment properties. This raises an understandable question for many accommodation providers:

How can I ensure that my apartment will continue to generate income in the coming years?

At Immodan, we see this situation as an opportunity to build a more stable and flexible revenue model.

Regulations are changing – but accommodation will not disappear

The key message of the legislative amendment is clear:

• Occasional rental of your own home remains unrestricted
• Continuous overnight accommodation in investment apartments will be restricted
• Longer and more clearly defined accommodation periods are emphasized

This does not mean the end of Airbnb.
It means that another, more stable channel is needed alongside it.

Hybrid model: take advantage of both Airbnb and corporate accommodation

More and more homeowners are choosing a model in which:

• Seasons and short periods → Airbnb
• Longer stays → corporate accommodation through Immodan

The best thing is that these two are not mutually exclusive.

You can link your Airbnb calendar and the Immodan platform to each other, which will allow you to:

✔ You won't get overlapping reservations
✔ You can see the entire occupancy rate in one view
✔ You can use both channels flexibly

Immodan does not lock your apartment – it brings you more demand when Airbnb is not the optimal option.

What is Immodan?

Immodan provides furnished apartments to companies that need accommodation for their employees for weeks or months.

Typical uses:

• Project work
• Installations
• Consulting and expert tasks

Companies are looking for homes, not hotel rooms.

How does cooperation with Immodan work?

• You sign an accommodation agreement with Immodan.
• Reservation periods start from a minimum of 2 months.
• You will always receive a booking proposal, which you can accept or reject.
• You are not committing to exclusivity
• Commission 20%
• Settlement as soon as the customer has paid
• Billing for less than a month + the following month in advance

You decide when and to whom your apartment will be rented.

Why is this model of interest right now?

• Responds to the direction of legislative change
• More stable cash flow
• Less turnover
• Less operational work

For many, this brings peace of mind:
apartments are not dependent on a single platform or a single regulatory model.

The legislative amendment is a signal – not a halt

Regulation shows that short-term accommodation is an established part of the housing market. It favors operators and owners who are able to combine flexibility and predictability.

The hybrid model Airbnb + Immoda does just that.

Would you like to see if your property is suitable for the Immodan network?

If you want to ensure that your apartment will continue to generate income in the coming years – regardless of how nighttime regulations ultimately take shape – it is worth discussing this now.
