To start an Airbnb short term rental business, do I need to be an Italian national? I am a recent graduate from University of  la Sapienza Rome,  as a Sustainable building Engineer and I want to start Airbnb business. Any help and suggestions would be really appreciated. @Helen3

Welcome to the Community Center @M-Zakria0, I was able to find an article in our Help Center about Hosting in Rome which you might find useful (click here) 👈 

Alternatively, you could also try and ask your question the Italian Community Center by clicking here 👈

Good luck!

Thank you for your response.

Yes I already study the community guidelines which is specifically for Rome but i didn't get the answers for those who are international students ot job holders and what if they want to start the Airbnb.

Hello @M-Zakria0 

When you say you want to start an Airbnb business - are you thinking of becoming a co-host maybe or actually listing a place? I imagine it makes a difference if you own the property that you wish to list on Airbnb or if you would be sub-letting it?

[M-Zakria0]

Thanks for your response.

That’s what i’m still confused that what is the difference between own the property and sub-letting it?

A host is someone who lets out their own property or one that they have permission from their landlord to sublet for STR @M-Zakria0 

a cohost is someone with extensive experience of hosting who offers cohosting services to other hosts

Now I understood. Thank you so much

Have you checked your student visa to see if you are allowed to run a business ? @M-Zakria0

Thank you for the response.

I have an Italian Permisso di Soggorno and I think I can.
