EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

• Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

This explanatory memorandum accompanies the proposal for a Regulation establishing a

framework for measures in Member States to safeguard housing affordability and availability

(Affordable Housing Act) (the ‘Proposal’).

Housing affordability has become a growing challenge across the Union, particularly in

certain cities, metropolitan regions, islands and tourist destinations, where housing demand

significantly exceeds available supply. While insufficient housing supply remains the

structural driver, demand associated with certain forms of non-primary use of housing may

aggravate affordability pressures in some local markets. These pressures particularly affect

low- and middle-income households, young people and essential workers, and can make it

increasingly difficult for residents to access affordable housing in the places where they live

and work.

In response, competent authorities are increasingly adopting or considering measures

affecting the provision of short-term rental accommodation services or the acquisition and use

of residential property. Such measures seek to preserve housing for long-term residential use

and alleviate pressures on housing affordability and availability. While housing policy

remains primarily a national, regional and local competence, such measures may affect the

freedoms of the internal market and therefore fall within the scope of Union law.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has recognised that safeguarding housing

affordability and availability may constitute an overriding reason relating to the public interest

capable of justifying restrictions affecting internal market freedoms. However, existing Union

law, including the Treaty, Directive 2006/123/EC (the ‘Services Directive’) and the CJEU’s

case law, is general in nature. A specific operational framework for assessing housing stress

or demonstrating the justification and proportionality of individual measures is needed to

improve legal certainty for competent authorities, citizens and economic operators and to

reduce the fragmentation of regulatory approaches across the Union.

There is growing recognition that Europe’s shared housing affordability challenge calls for a

shared response. Whilst housing remains mostly a national, regional and local responsibility,

the EU supports, coordinates and complements national, regional and local efforts, within its

competences, while respecting the diversity of housing markets and governance systems

across the EU.

The political guidelines for the 2024-2029 European Commission (1), recognising the urgency

of the housing crisis, announced the appointment of a Commissioner for housing, and

committed to putting forward the first-ever European Affordable Housing Plan.

At the European Council in October 2025 (2), EU leaders called on the Commission to swiftly

present an ambitious and comprehensive plan for affordable housing, the aim of which would

EN 3 EN

be to support and complement Member States’ efforts, having due regard for the principle of

subsidiarity and national competences. On 10 March 2026, the European Parliament adopted

the final report of the Special Committee on the Housing Crisis, which strongly welcomed the

Commission’s commitment to deliver and implement an ambitious European Affordable

Housing Plan (EAHP) (3).

The Proposal forms part of the EAHP (4) presented by the Commission on 16 December

2025, which includes an analysis of the key drivers of the housing affordability crisis in the

EU (5). It responds to repeated calls from Member States, cities, regions and stakeholders for

greater legal certainty regarding the conditions under which housing-related measures may be

adopted consistently with Union law.

The objective of this Proposal is not to harmonise housing policy, but to establish a common

framework governing the assessment under Union law of certain housing-related measures

intended to safeguard housing affordability and availability. It lays down common

requirements for the justification, proportionality, transparency and review of such measures,

which includes a common methodology for demonstrating housing stress. In doing so, it seeks

to improve legal certainty, transparency and the consistent application of Union law while

fully respecting national, regional and local competences. By reducing legal uncertainty, the

Proposal should also enable competent authorities to address local housing affordability and

availability pressures more effectively where intervention is justified.

The Proposal does not establish under EU law any new right for competent authorities to

restrict access to, or the provision of, short-term accommodation rental services, or the

acquisition or use of property, nor does it prescribe or recommend any such measures. It sets

out the conditions and requirements applicable under EU law where competent authorities

choose to adopt measures that are available to them under national law.

The Proposal seeks to simplify and clarify the existing EU framework applicable to measures

intended to safeguard housing affordability and availability. It does so by notably removing

the notification obligation laid down in Article 15(7) of Directive 2006/123/EC for measures

within the scope of this Regulation, while harmonising the procedure for assessing the

proportionality of those measures.

• The problem and its drivers

The problem addressed by this Proposal is insufficient legal certainty regarding the

compatibility of measures protecting housing affordability and availability with Union law

governing the internal market freedoms. This results in divergent national, regional and local

measures which negatively affect the proper functioning of the internal market.

This problem has two drivers:

– The first driver is a substantive housing-market challenge that requires public

intervention. In some areas under housing stress, competent authorities are

increasingly seeking to address housing affordability pressures that arise from the

supply-demand mismatch and that may be aggravated by certain forms of non-

primary use of housing.

– The second driver is a governance challenge. Union law recognises that housing

affordability and availability may justify restrictions even if they affect internal

market freedoms. However, the current framework is general in nature. It does not

provide a sufficiently specific and structured basis with which to establish the

presence of housing stress, assess the necessity and proportionality of specific

interventions, balance demand-side and supply-side responses, or to ensure

transparency, monitoring and review over time.

As a result, without further EU action, competent authorities are likely to continue to face

difficulties in identifying, justifying and designing housing-related interventions in a way that

is compatible with Union law, and to struggle to respond effectively to housing affordability

and availability pressures where they are most acute.

Housing policy, urban planning and land-use regulation remain primarily national, regional

and local competences. The purpose of this Proposal is neither to harmonise housing policy

outcomes nor to promote or encourage the adoption of particular housing-related

interventions, but to establish a common European framework governing the way in which

the justification and proportionality of housing-related interventions affecting internal market

freedoms are assessed, reviewed and rendered transparent. It thereby contributes to the

effective functioning of the internal market.

• Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

The Proposal complements existing Union legislation governing the internal market.

It builds on Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 (6) on data collection and sharing relating to short-

term rental accommodation services (‘STR Regulation’). While the STR Regulation

establishes a harmonised framework for registration and data sharing, it does not determine

the circumstances in which housing-related restrictions may be justified under Union law. The

two instruments are therefore complementary: the STR Regulation improves transparency and

data availability, whereas this Proposal provides a common framework for assessing housing-

related measures.

The Proposal is also consistent with Directive 2006/123/EC (7). For measures falling within

its scope, this Proposal lays down specific rules governing the demonstration of housing stress

and the assessment of justification, necessity and proportionality, that apply instead of the

6 Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 April 2024 on data

collection and sharing relating to short-term accommodation rental services and amending Regulation

(EU) 2018/1724, https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1028/oj/eng. 7 Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on

services in the internal market, https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/123/oj.

EN 5 EN

Services Directive. Other applicable provisions of Union law, including the Services

Directive, continue to apply insofar as they are not displaced by those specific rules.

The Proposal is accompanied by a Commission Recommendation on housing supply

measures in areas under housing stress and complements the Commission’s wider initiatives

to increase the supply of affordable housing through simplification, investment and improved

construction capacity. While the Regulation enables more effective action to address

immediate pressures on the existing housing stock, the Recommendation focuses on

increasing supply structurally to deliver lasting improvements in affordability.

The Proposal is also consistent with the Commission’s work to strengthen the European

evidence base on housing, including improved housing statistics, greater transparency of

housing markets and better access to housing data and analysis.

• Consistency with other Union policies

The Proposal is consistent with the Union’s framework governing digital services, including

the e-Commerce Directive (8) and the Digital Services Act (9), and does not affect the

responsibilities established under those instruments.

It is also consistent with the Commission’s forthcoming initiatives on digital fairness,

sustainable tourism, the “Right to Stay” and with the revised State aid framework for services

of general economic interest relating to affordable housing. This Proposal complements these

initiatives by providing greater legal certainty for competent authorities adopting housing-

related measures affecting the internal market.

2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

• Legal basis

The legal basis for the Proposal is Article 114 TFEU. The initiative aims to improve the

functioning of the internal market by establishing a common framework for the assessment of

certain housing-related measures affecting the freedoms of the internal market. While housing

policy remains primarily within the competence of Member States and their national, regional

and local authorities, measures affecting the provision of services or the acquisition or use of

residential property may restrict internal market freedoms and are therefore subject to Union

law.

The Proposal establishes a common methodology for demonstrating housing stress and

common requirements for the justification and proportionality of certain housing-related

measures, while fully respecting Member States’ competence regarding housing policy and

the substantive content of housing measures. Divergent national, regional and local

methodologies and procedural requirements create differing conditions for economic

operators and legal uncertainty regarding restrictions on the freedom of establishment and the

freedom to provide services under Articles 49 and 56 TFEU, in particular as regards short-

term accommodation rental services, and on the free movement of capital under Article 63

TFEU, in particular as regards the acquisition and use of residential property. The Proposal

8 Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal

aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market

(‘Directive on electronic commerce’), https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2000/31/oj/eng. 9 Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 October 2022 on a

Single Market For Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (Digital Services Act),

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/2065/oj/eng.

EN 6 EN

approximates those methodologies and requirements by establishing a common Union

framework for assessing such restrictions. Article 114 TFEU is therefore the appropriate legal

basis.

• Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

The Proposal complies with the principle of subsidiarity. Housing policy, urban planning and

land-use regulation remain primarily matters for Member States. However, the conditions for

the assessment of whether housing-related measures restricting internal market freedoms

comply with Union law cannot be effectively clarified by Member States acting alone.

While the CJEU has interpreted the relevant legal principles, existing Union law provides no

specific common operational framework for identifying housing stress or assessing the

justification and proportionality of housing-related measures. As a result, competent

authorities apply different methodologies and evidential standards, creating legal uncertainty,

administrative burden and inconsistent application of Union law.

The added value of Union action is therefore to establish a common framework for assessing

housing-related measures affecting the internal market. The Proposal provides a common

methodology for demonstrating housing stress and common requirements for the justification,

necessity, proportionality, transparency and review of such measures. It preserves the

discretion of competent authorities to determine whether intervention is necessary and which

measures are appropriate in light of local circumstances, while ensuring that measures

affecting the internal market are assessed according to common Union standards.

• Proportionality

The Proposal complies with the principle of proportionality because it does not go beyond

what is necessary to improve the functioning of the internal market. It does not harmonise

housing policy, require competent authorities to adopt housing-related measures, or prescribe

the substantive content of such measures. Instead, it lays down only those common

requirements necessary to ensure legal certainty, transparency and the consistent application

of Union law to measures falling within its scope. It does not cover measures taken by the

competent authorities for overriding reasons relating to the public interest other than the

necessity to safeguard housing affordability and availability, such as public policy, public

security, public health, the protection of consumers, the protection of the environment and the

urban environment, the protection of cultural heritage.

As regards measures concerning short-term accommodation rental services, the Proposal

applies only where such measures are adopted for the purpose of safeguarding housing

affordability and availability in areas under housing stress. The Proposal aims to ensure that

they are calibrated to forms of activity that, by reason of their scale, frequency or commercial

character, are more likely to reduce the availability of housing for long-term residential use.

As regards measures affecting the acquisition or use of land and residential property, the

Proposal applies only where such measures are adopted for the purpose of safeguarding

housing affordability and availability in areas under housing stress. It may therefore cover, for

example, restrictions on non-primary residential use, requirements reserving affordable

residential property for owner-occupation or for specified categories of households, including

first-time buyers or lower- and middle-income households, measures addressing long-term

vacancy, or declaration requirements regarding intended use prior to acquisition, or

prohibition of changes of use which prevent housing being converted from residential use to

EN 7 EN

commercial or professional use. General rules governing property ownership and transfer,

including inheritance, gifts and transfers within families, measures regulating rents under

residential tenancy contracts, housing benefits, building standards, taxation, and general land-

use, spatial-planning and zoning rules fall outside the scope where they do not have the object

or effect of restricting acquisition or use for the purpose of safeguarding housing affordability

and availability within the meaning of the Regulation.

As confirmed by the impact assessment, this approach provides the appropriate balance

between improving legal certainty and preserving the flexibility of national, regional and local

authorities to respond to local housing-market conditions.

• Choice of the instrument

A Regulation is the most appropriate legal instrument because it establishes a common

procedural framework governing the assessment of housing-related measures affecting the

internal market. Uniform application of those procedural requirements is essential to ensure

legal certainty and the consistent application of Union law across the Union.

Non-binding guidance could promote a more consistent interpretation of existing Union law

but would not provide a sufficiently predictable and uniform framework for competent

authorities, citizens and economic operators. A Directive would require national transposition,

increasing the risk of divergent implementation and hampering progress towards the objective

of improving legal certainty.

A Regulation therefore provides the most effective means of establishing a common

framework while fully respecting Member States’ competence for housing policy and the

substantive design of housing-related measures.

3. RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER

CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

• Stakeholder consultations

In accordance with the Better Regulation Guidelines, the Commission carried out targeted

consultation activities to complement the extensive public consultation previously undertaken

in 2025 in preparation for the EAHP, which received 13 330 responses.

Between 6 March and 3 April 2026, the Commission organised a Call for Evidence, a targeted

questionnaire and four dedicated workshops with Member States, regions, cities, stakeholders

and experts. The Call for Evidence received 617 contributions and there were 303 responses

to the targeted questionnaire.

The consultations confirmed the presence of broad support for greater legal certainty

regarding the compatibility of housing-related measures with Union law, while emphasising

the need to respect subsidiarity and preserve flexibility for competent authorities. Public

authorities called for a common framework for assessing housing stress and justifying local

measure. Economic operators stressed the importance of proportionality, legal certainty and

evidence-based decision-making, while representatives of tenants, students, social housing

providers and civil society underlined the need for effective tools to safeguard housing

affordability and availability.

EN 8 EN

• Collection and use of expertise

The Proposal draws on extensive economic and legal analysis undertaken by the Commission,

including support from the Joint Research Centre and other Commission services.

• Impact assessment

The Proposal is supported by an impact assessment report (SWD(2026) xxx), prepared in

accordance with the Commission’s Better Regulation Guidelines.

Following a negative opinion of the Regulatory Scrutiny Board on 5 June 2026, the impact

assessment was substantially revised. The revised report clarifies the problem definition,

objectives, subsidiarity assessment, policy options and impact analysis, and clarifies that the

initiative is a procedural instrument intended to improve legal certainty rather than a housing-

market intervention. It also strengthens the evidence base, stakeholder analysis, litigation

assessment and monitoring framework. The revised report received a positive opinion with

reservations on 17 July 2026.

The impact assessment examined three policy options in addition to the baseline:

Option 1: consisted of non-binding guidance explaining existing Union law and providing

practical recommendations.

Option 2: the preferred option. It establishes a common framework governing housing-related

measures affecting internal market freedoms. It combines a common methodology for

demonstrating housing stress with requirements concerning justification, proportionality,

transparency and periodic review, while preserving national, regional and local discretion

regarding whether and how to intervene.

Option 3: would have introduced a more prescriptive framework, including mandatory

designation of housing stress areas, harmonised thresholds and housing plans, and more

extensive Union-level harmonisation.

The preferred option is expected to contribute to improving housing affordability and

availability in areas experiencing housing stress by enabling more timely, targeted and

evidence-based action where short-term rentals or other non-primary uses demonstrably

aggravate housing pressures. Where such measures preserve or increase the stock of housing

available for long-term residential use, they can help ease pressure on rents and house prices

and improve access to affordable housing, particularly in constrained local markets.

Residents, including tenants and prospective homebuyers, may therefore benefit from greater

housing availability and reduced affordability pressures, while competent authorities gain

greater legal certainty and citizens and economic operators benefit from clearer and more

consistent safeguards. The price-to-income thresholds focus the framework on areas facing

significant affordability pressures, while the subsequent assessment of local housing-market

conditions ensures that measures respond to actual local circumstances. The Proposal

maintains flexibility for Member States and competent authorities and respects subsidiarity.

Environmental and competitiveness impacts are expected to be limited and mainly indirect.

The Proposal is consistent with the Union’s climate objectives.

• Regulatory fitness and simplification

The Proposal contributes to simplification by establishing a common procedural framework

for assessing housing-related measures affecting the internal market. For measures falling

within its scope, the Proposal clarifies the applicable procedural requirements. Under the

EN 9 EN

Proposal, there will no longer be a requirement to notify restrictions on short-term

accommodation rental services under Directive 2006/123/EC, which will reduce repetitive

administrative formalities and improve administrative efficiency. The Proposal complements

Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 and avoids creating overlapping or duplicative administrative

requirements.

The Proposal does not impose direct obligations on businesses. Its effects on Small and

medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and microenterprises are therefore indirect and depend on

the housing-related measures adopted by competent authorities. Greater legal certainty,

transparency and predictability are expected to reduce regulatory uncertainty and compliance

costs for economic operators, particularly those active across several jurisdictions. The overall

impact on competitiveness is expected to be limited and broadly neutral.

The Proposal has been designed in accordance with the Commission’s digital-ready

policymaking principles. It builds on existing data sources, promotes interoperability with the

framework established by Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 and avoids unnecessary reporting

obligations.

The Proposal does not explicitly exempt microenterprises, as it does not impose direct

obligations on service providers. Rather, it establishes the conditions under which competent

authorities may adopt measures affecting certain activities. Short-term rental activity

involving housing not used as a primary residence is often carried out by microenterprises,

which may therefore be indirectly affected by measures adopted by competent authorities

under the framework.

The Proposal would be relevant for SMEs, in particular those active in the short-term rental

and tourism sectors, but does not impose direct obligations or compliance costs on them. Its

effects are expected to be mainly indirect and to vary across sectors. SMEs may nevertheless

be affected by measures adopted by competent authorities under the framework, with the

nature and magnitude of those effects depending on the measures concerned and local market

conditions. But at the same time, SMEs would benefit from greater visibility and

predictability about when, where and for how long restrictions may apply, as well as from

common requirements aimed at ensuring that such measures are evidence-based, necessary

and proportionate. These benefits are particularly relevant for SMEs operating across, or

providing services in, multiple local markets. The overall impact on competitiveness is

expected to be limited and broadly neutral. As the initiative is addressed primarily to

competent authorities rather than businesses, its effects are indirect and depend on local

implementation choices. Greater legal certainty, transparency and predictability are expected

to reduce regulatory uncertainty and compliance costs for economic operators active across

multiple jurisdictions, while any adjustment costs resulting from restrictions introduced in

areas under housing stress are expected to remain localised and sector-specific.

• Fundamental rights

The Proposal respects the rights and principles recognised by the Charter of Fundamental

Rights of the European Union.

By establishing common procedural safeguards governing the justification, transparency and

periodic review of housing-related measures, the Proposal supports the right to good

administration under Article 41 of the Charter.

EN 10 EN

The Proposal is expected to contribute indirectly to the objectives set out in Articles 7, 34(3)

and 36 of the Charter by supporting competent authorities in safeguarding housing

affordability and availability, while ensuring full respect of the right to property under Article

17. In particular, measures in the scope of the Proposal are subject to safeguards, including

objective evidence of a significant adverse effect on housing affordability or availability,

territorial targeting, necessity and proportionality, consideration of less restrictive alternatives,

respect for legal certainty and legitimate expectations, appropriate transitional arrangements,

limitations on duration, periodic review and effective judicial protection. The Proposal does

not itself establish any restriction on property ownership or confer on competent authorities

powers to adopt restrictions that are not available to them under national law.

4. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS

The implementation of this Regulation has limited budgetary implications for the Union

budget. Additional resources are required primarily to support the implementation, monitoring

and evaluation of the new framework, including the preparation of guidance, stakeholder

engagement, legal and policy follow-up, and the maintenance and continued operation of the

existing Mapadomo tool (a housing database). Wherever possible, the Proposal builds on

existing Commission structures, expertise and digital infrastructure and does not establish a

new Union body, funding programme or digital platform. The detailed financial implications

are set out in the Legislative Financial and Digital Statement accompanying this Proposal.

5. OTHER ELEMENTS

• Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements

The Commission will monitor the implementation and application of this Regulation in

cooperation with the Member States and competent authorities. The Commission will assess

the way in which the framework established by this Regulation operates, including the

application of the methodology for demonstrating housing stress, the justification,

proportionality, transparency and review of measures adopted under the Regulation, the

reduction in litigation and successful legal challenges. The evaluation will focus on the

effectiveness of the Union framework and will not assess the housing policy choices made by

competent authorities.

The Commission will evaluate this Regulation no earlier than five years after its entry into

application.

• Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the Proposal

Chapter I lays down the general provisions. It defines the subject matter and scope of the

Regulation, clarifies its relationship with existing Union legislation, and sets out the key

definitions used throughout the Regulation.

Chapter II establishes the common framework applicable to housing-related measures. It lays

down the methodology for demonstrating housing stress, rules on territorial scope and the

conditions governing non-discrimination, necessity and proportionality. It also establishes

requirements concerning duration, periodic review, transparency and judicial review.

Chapter III contains the final provisions relating to delegated acts, evaluation and review of

the Regulation, and its entry into force and application.

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

establishing a framework for measures in Member States to safeguard housing

affordability and availability (Affordable Housing Act)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular

Article 114 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee1,

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions2,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1) The Union is facing a housing affordability crisis that weakens social cohesion and

threatens the overall competitiveness of the Union. This crisis is affecting a growing

number of households, with a rising number of people facing difficulties in securing

quality housing at an affordable price. This affects, in particular, people in vulnerable

situations, but also increasingly middle-income households. Housing unaffordability

has become a constraint on labour mobility, on access to employment and education

opportunities, and on economic development and competitiveness. Essential workers

and persons undertaking seasonal work away from their usual residence can no longer

afford to live in the communities they serve.

(2) The analysis set out in the Commission staff working document ‘Understanding the

housing crisis’3 demonstrates that although housing affordability challenges are

present across the Union, their severity and underlying drivers vary significantly

between and within Member States. In particular, major urban centres, metropolitan

areas with strong labour market growth and certain areas characterised by high tourism

intensity have experienced sustained imbalances between housing supply and demand.

This has led to rapid increases in purchase prices and rents, and increased risks of

residential displacement.

(3) In those areas, demand for residential property has increased due to long-term

urbanisation trends, concentration of economic activity, changing household structures

1 OJ C , , p. . 2 OJ C , , p. . 3 SWD(2025) 1053 final of 16 December 2025.

EN 3 EN

and increasing demand for modern living space. Residential property is also

increasingly used for purposes other than permanent residence. This includes use for

tourist accommodation, such as short-term accommodation rental services, occasional

use and investment. In some municipalities or neighbourhoods under housing stress,

non-primary residences can represent a significant share of the housing stock, and

short-term rental accommodation listings a considerable proportion of the overall

rental stock, with a substantial number of hosts renting several properties under such

short-term contracts. While these additional uses can generate economic and social

benefits, including for households struggling to make ends meet, they may also

aggravate housing demand pressures in some constrained local housing markets by

reducing the availability of dwellings for primary use and putting inflationary pressure

on rents and housing prices. The extent of those effects varies considerably depending

on local housing market conditions and the ability of housing supply to respond to

demand. If the supply response is insufficient, such areas may experience housing

stress, often reflected in a growing disconnect between housing prices and rents, on

the one hand, and household incomes, on the other.

(4) Local housing availability can also be constrained by factors affecting the ability of

housing supply to respond to demand. Such factors include land scarcity, planning and

permitting constraints, labour shortages, transport and infrastructure constraints,

vacant properties, and insufficient investment in housebuilding, including affordable

and social housing. Additional housing supply may also be generated through

renovation, repurposing, repartitioning into more units, and bringing vacant dwellings

back into use. In this context, vacant and underused housing in rural areas may also

provide opportunities to increase housing supply. Sustainable improvements in

housing affordability require an increase in the supply of housing, including in

affordable and social housing.

(5) Competent authorities in areas under housing stress have in recent years been

adopting, or are considering, restrictive measures aimed at preserving housing for

long-term residential use and alleviating pressures on housing affordability and

availability. These include measures aimed at preserving residential property for

primary residential use, whether occupied by the owner or by another person,

including by addressing short-term rental activity or other forms of non-primary

residential use.

(6) This Regulation should neither establish a right under Union law for competent

authorities to restrict property ownership or use nor require, prescribe or encourage the

adoption of any such measure. It should establish the conditions and requirements

applicable where competent authorities choose to adopt measures available to them

under national law for the purpose of safeguarding housing affordability and

availability in areas under housing stress, such as restrictions on non-primary

residential use, requirements reserving affordable residential property for owner-

occupation or for specified categories of households, including first-time buyers or

lower- and middle-income households, measures addressing long-term vacancy, or

declaration requirements regarding intended use prior to acquisition, or authorisation

requirements concerning changes of use from residential to commercial or

professional purposes.

(7) National, regional and local approaches diverge not only as regards the measures

adopted, but also in the concepts and indicators used to identify housing stress, the

thresholds applied, the evidence required and the standards used to assess whether

restrictions are justified. Such divergences are likely to increase as more competent

EN 4 EN

authorities take action in response to housing pressures. This fragmentation increases

compliance costs and reduces legal certainty for economic operators active across the

internal market, including online platforms operating across the Union, hosts offering

properties in different Member States and cross-border buyers and investors. It thereby

negatively affects the proper functioning of the internal market.

(8) The legal framework is chiefly regulated under Articles 49, 56 and 63 of the Treaty on

the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and the jurisprudence of the Court of

Justice of the European Union. For short-term accommodation rental services, access

to, or the provision of, such services are regulated by Directive 2006/123/EC of the

European Parliament and of the Council4. However, there is a lack of clarity as to what

type of measures comply with Union law principles of justification, non-

discrimination and proportionality.

(9) This Regulation should be applied in full respect of the right to property laid down in

Article 17 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Measures

restricting the acquisition or use of land or residential property may interfere with the

exercise of that right and should therefore be subject to requirements of necessity and

proportionality. In particular, such measures should be based on objective evidence, be

appropriately targeted in their territorial and material scope, not go beyond what is

necessary to achieve the objective pursued, be limited in duration, respect legal

certainty and legitimate expectations and be subject to effective judicial review. For

instance, where measures address long-term vacancy of residential property,

competent authorities should take into account situations in which non-occupation is

justified by the circumstances of the owner or occupier. In particular, full account

should be taken of temporary absence for reasons such as work, education or training,

health, dependency or social emergency. The framework established by this

Regulation should therefore ensure a fair balance between the protection of the right to

property and the public interest in safeguarding access to affordable housing.

(10) At the same time, in applying this Regulation, competent authorities should have

regard to the right to respect for the home as reflected in Article 7 of the Charter, in

accordance with Union law and national laws and practices.

(11) The fact that a measure falls within the scope of this Regulation should not be

understood as implying that that measure is compatible with Union law. The

compatibility of a measure with Union law depends on compliance with the applicable

requirements of necessity and proportionality, having regard to the nature, scope and

effects of the measure and to the circumstances in which it is applied. As follows from

the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, a measure may, for

example, fail to comply with the requirement of non-discrimination where the

discretion available to the competent authority gives rise to a risk of discriminatory

application, including by subjecting nationals of other Member States to more

stringent scrutiny than nationals of the Member State concerned.

(12) The Court of Justice of the European Union has recognised that safeguarding the

availability and affordability of housing may constitute an overriding reason relating

to the public interest capable of justifying restrictions on internal market freedoms,

provided that the measure is suitable and proportionate. However, there are no specific

rules at Union level that govern how competent authorities should demonstrate

4 Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on

services in the internal market (OJ L 376, 27.12.2006, p. 36, ELI:

http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/123/oj).

EN 5 EN

housing stress and establish that specific temporary measures are justified, suitable and

proportionate. In the absence of a common framework governing the assessment of

such measures, legal uncertainty may arise regarding the conditions under which

housing-related interventions may be introduced, maintained or adapted. This may

increase administrative burden, compliance costs and litigation risks and reduce

predictability for competent authorities, citizens and economic operators.

(13) To improve legal certainty and the functioning of the internal market, it is necessary to

establish a common Union framework governing the assessment of restrictive

measures falling within the scope of Union law that competent authorities adopt to

safeguard housing affordability and availability. That framework should not seek to

harmonise housing policy choices or require competent authorities to intervene in

housing markets. Rather, it should ensure that measures affecting internal market

freedoms are assessed on the basis of common procedural requirements relating to

evidence, transparency, justification and proportionality. It should contribute to greater

predictability for competent authorities, the public and economic operators, while

preserving the ability of competent authorities to adopt measures that are most suited

to local circumstances.

(14) Housing markets are inherently local and often require responses adapted to local

circumstances. Accordingly, competent authorities should retain the ability to

determine whether intervention is necessary and which measures are most appropriate

in light of local housing conditions. At the same time, citizens and economic operators

active across the internal market would benefit from greater transparency and

predictability regarding the conditions under which housing-related measures may be

adopted.

(15) Directive 2006/123/EC establishes general provisions facilitating the exercise of the

freedom of establishment for service providers and the free movement of services.

That Directive applies to access to, or the provision of, short-term accommodation

rental services. This Regulation governs specific aspects of access to, or the provision

of, short-term accommodation rental services. It should apply, instead of Directive

2006/123/EC, to measures adopted by competent authorities which restrict access to,

or the provision of, short-term accommodation rental services, where those measures

are justified by the necessity to safeguard affordability and availability of residential

property. Directive 2006/123/EC should continue to apply to measures restricting the

access to, or the provision of, short-term accommodation rental services, both on

primary and non-primary residences, taken on the grounds of overriding reasons

relating to the public interest other than the necessity to safeguard housing

affordability and availability, for example public policy, public security, public health,

the protection of consumers, the protection of the environment and the urban

environment, the protection of cultural heritage.

(16) In order to limit the negative impact on the internal market of any measure restricting

access to, or the provision of, short-term accommodation rental services or restricting

acquisition and use of land and residential property, such measures should be limited

to areas where the acute pressure on the availability and affordability of residential

property (‘areas under housing stress’) justifies action to safeguard affordability and

availability of residential property, and be as proportionate as possible.

(17) There is no common Union methodology for determining when housing pressures are

sufficient to justify restrictions affecting the internal market on housing affordability

and availability grounds. Several Member States and their regional and local

EN 6 EN

authorities use different concepts, indicators, thresholds, territorial units, data sources

and procedures to determine whether an area is under housing stress. Some approaches

focus on affordability indicators, such as price-to-income ratio, rent levels or housing

cost overburden. Others use broader diagnostics, such as the share of secondary homes

or vacant dwellings, the concentration of short-term rentals, the impact on social

housing or the pressure on long-term rental markets. The lack of common, objective

criteria creates legal uncertainty and hinders the assessment of whether measures are

objectively justified, appropriately targeted and proportionate.

(18) It is therefore necessary to establish a common Union approach for determining

whether an area is under housing stress.

(19) Where a competent authority intends to adopt a measure pursuant to this Regulation, it

should assess housing stress in the area concerned on the basis of the price-to-income

ratio and its growth across time, together with other indicators that make it possible to

demonstrate that housing stress is unlikely to ease in the future. The fact that an area

meets the criteria for housing stress should not automatically lead to adoption of any

measure under this Regulation by a competent authority. The decision whether to

intervene, and which measures to adopt, should remain with the competent authority.

(20) Price-to-income ratio measures the affordability of housing by comparing the price of

acquiring a dwelling with household income. By combining the price-to-income ratio

over last 10 years of available data, the competent authority can obtain a more

complete picture of recent affordability dynamics. Comparing price-to-income

indicators across regions and time gives a more nuanced view of both current

affordability pressure and recent affordability dynamics and helps authorities identify

emerging hotspots where price-to-income ratios may still be moderate but

deteriorating rapidly. Thresholds on price-to-income indicate a level of unaffordability

of housing and the persistence and aggravation of the local situation. Price-to-income

ratio can also be used as a proxy for rent-to-income, as there is a positive correlation

between housing prices and rents.

(21) The Commission makes available regularly updated estimated data series that

competent authorities can use for the calculation of the price-to-income ratio when

assessing housing stress under this Regulation. Competent authorities should be able

to use other reliable and sufficiently representative data meeting the requirements of

this Regulation.

(22) To better understand housing pressures in a particular area, in addition to price-to-

income ratio, the competent authority should also assess population trends, as well as

housing supply and demand trends in that area. The evidence should be recent and

geographically relevant and capable of verification. It is only when considered

together that these elements help assess the severity of the housing situation and

identify the specific circumstances, drivers and potential aggravating factors in each

area. The territorial scope of the designation should be delimited as narrowly as the

available evidence allows and might be smaller than the territorial unit at which data is

available.

(23) To ensure that any measure restricting access to, or the provision of, short-term

accommodation rental services or restricting the acquisition and use of land and

residential property complies with Union law, it must be non-discriminatory, justified

by an overriding reason relating to the public interest and proportionate.

EN 7 EN

(24) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, competent authorities should

consider the available measures and select those that are suitable to safeguard housing

affordability and availability and are no more restrictive than necessary to achieve that

objective.

(25) Where measures concern the acquisition or use of residential land or residential

property, competent authorities should consider and, where appropriate, use less

restrictive measures than absolute prohibitions of certain acquisitions or uses of

property, such as quantitative caps in areas under housing stress, grandfathering rules,

exceptions for avoidance of undue hardships or fiscal incentives.

(26) In the field of short-term rentals, competent authorities should target the forms of

activity most likely to have an adverse effect on the availability and affordability of

housing for long-term residential use, such as those that are characterised by their

commercial scale. Competent authorities should do so by taking into account objective

criteria such as the number of dwellings offered by a single host, the frequency of the

activity, or comparable indicators.

(27) This Regulation excludes the letting of a host’s primary residence from any

restrictions under its scope. This is because such lettings do not generally remove

housing from the long-term market and should therefore be treated differently from

forms of short-term rental activity that involve the use of housing stock not used as a

primary residence. The exclusion of primary residences from restrictions on short-term

rental activity under this Regulation constitutes a minimum safeguard and competent

authorities may choose to further limit the categories of residential property to which

their measures apply, in line with the principle of proportionality.

(28) Restrictions affecting the acquisition or use of residential property may have indirect

implications, for example on property values, financing conditions or investment.

Such effects will depend on the type, scope and duration of the measures adopted, the

characteristics of the local housing market and the extent to which they are

accompanied by measures to increase housing supply. To ensure that prudential

aspects linked to the measures taken in application of this Regulation are properly

considered, the authority competent to apply this Regulation can consult and cooperate

with the competent authority or the designated authority under point (40) of Article

4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council5

under Article 458(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and under Article 133(3) of

Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council6.

(29) Restrictions affecting internal market freedoms must be suitable for attaining the

objective pursued and must not go beyond what is necessary to achieve it.

Accordingly, the presence of housing stress in a particular area should not in itself

justify the adoption of restrictive measures. Competent authorities should demonstrate,

on the basis of objective evidence, that the activity concerned has had a significant

adverse effect on housing affordability or availability in the area concerned over at

least three years preceding the adoption of the measure and that the measure is

EN 8 EN

necessary and proportionate in light of the specific circumstances of the area

concerned.

(30) While the use of residential property for the purposes other than the primary residence

adds demand pressure in already constrained housing markets, the supply-demand

mismatch is also driven by insufficient supply of residential housing. Restrictions on

access to, or the provision of, short-term accommodation rental services or on the

acquisition and use of land and residential property for purposes other than primary

residence alone cannot address the structural causes of housing shortages in the long

term. While restrictions that are limited in time and in scope could mitigate housing

demand pressures in the short term, competent authorities should complement any

such restriction with measures to increase housing supply in those areas, in particular

the supply of social and affordable housing.

(31) In areas under housing stress, undertaking brownfield development projects and

making better use of the existing building stock could help increase the supply of

housing, especially in urban areas with limited land for new construction. Building

codes, zoning rules, planning and permitting procedures are key factors where action

by competent authorities could help better match housing demand and supply,

supporting both the construction of new housing and bringing vacant dwellings back

into use, as well as renovating and repurposing non-residential buildings into

dwellings, and reducing under-occupation. To support public authorities, in September

2026 the Commission adopted a Recommendation on housing affordability and supply

in areas under housing stress7, including recommendations on mobilising public and

private investments for housing supply, in particular for housing below market rates.

That Recommendation can also support fighting housing exclusion and contribute to

more inclusive and socially cohesive communities where housing is well connected to

employment, education and essential services.

(32) Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 of the European Parliament and of the Council8

establishes a harmonised framework for the registration of hosts providing short-term

accommodation rental services and for the collection and sharing of data relating to

such services. The availability of reliable and comparable information concerning the

location, duration and intensity of short-term accommodation rental activity is

important for competent authorities when assessing housing market conditions and

determining whether measures affecting such activity are justified, necessary and

proportionate. The data collected pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 should

therefore support evidence-based decision-making and facilitate the application of the

proposed regulation.

(33) Measures adopted for the purposes of implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1028

should not fall within the scope of this Regulation. This Regulation should apply only

to other measures which regulate or restrict access to, or the provision of, short-term

accommodation rental services or the acquisition or use of residential property for

purposes other than primary residence on housing affordability grounds. Other

measures relating to residential property and housing, including general rules

governing property ownership and transfer, acquisition through inheritance, gifts and

transfers within families, measures regulating rents under residential tenancy

contracts, housing benefits, taxation measures of general application, building

standards, and planning or zoning rules of general application, should remain outside

the scope of this Regulation where they do not regulate or otherwise have the object or

effect of leading to restrictions falling within its scope.

(34) The effectiveness of Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 is essential to ensure the reliability

and completeness of the information competent authorities use when assessing

housing pressures and the impact of short-term accommodation rental activity.

Listings that do not comply with the requirements related to registration laid down in

that Regulation undermine the quality of the available information and may hamper

the effective enforcement of national, regional and local rules applicable to short-term

accommodation rental services. It is therefore important that competent authorities are

able, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1028, to require providers of online

short-term rental platforms to remove or disable access without undue delay to listings

that do not comply with those requirements.

(35) Competent authorities should uphold the principles of legal certainty, transparency, the

protection of legitimate expectations and effective judicial protection. Natural and

legal persons affected by measures adopted by competent authorities pursuant to this

Regulation should benefit from appropriate procedural safeguards and have access to

effective judicial review of those measures.

(36) In order to protect legal certainty and legitimate expectations, where competent

authorities adopt measures restricting the acquisition or use of residential propertyor

land, any condition linked to the acquisition should apply only to property acquired

after the date of application of the measure. Persons who acquired property before that

date should therefore not be subject to new restrictions linked to that acquisition

imposed under this Regulation.

(37) To ensure that measures adopted pursuant to this Regulation do not remain in force for

longer than necessary, they should be adopted for a period not exceeding five years,

with a possibility to extend them following a review. Competent authorities should

review them at regular intervals to verify that the conditions set out in this Regulation

continue to be fulfilled. Where those conditions are no longer met, the measures

should be withdrawn without undue delay.

(38) In order to ensure an accurate measurement of housing affordability pressures, the

power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the

Commission to amend data, thresholds, indicators and methodology used for

calculation of price-to-income ratio where objective developments, demonstrated by

relevant statistical or other reliable evidence, make such amendments necessary. It is

of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations

during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be

conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional

Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making9. In particular, to ensure equal

participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the

Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and

their experts should systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert

groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts.

(39) In order to assess the impact of this Regulation on the functioning of the internal

market and on the housing affordability and availability in Member States, the

Commission should carry out an evaluation of this Regulation.

(40) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to improve the conditions for the

establishment and functioning of the internal market by providing a common

framework for measures in Member States to safeguard the affordability and

availability of housing, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can

rather, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Union

level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity

as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the

principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go

beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Measures to safeguard housing affordability and availability

Article 5

Requirements for measures to safeguard housing affordability and availability

1. A competent authority may take any of the following measures, to the extent they are

justified by the necessity to safeguard housing affordability and availability, and

provided that those measures comply with the requirements laid down in Articles 6

to 10:

EN 12 EN

(a) measures restricting access to, or the provision of, short-term

accommodation rental services in residential property other than the

host’s primary residence;

(b) measures restricting the acquisition or use of land and residential

property that is not acquired or used for the purpose of primary residence,

whether occupied by the owner or by another person.

2. Measures restricting access to, or the provision of, short-term accommodation rental

services solely on the grounds of safeguarding housing affordability and availability

under this Regulation apply only to accommodation that is not provided by a host in

its primary residence.

Article 6

Assessment of housing stress

1. The competent authority shall assess whether the area in which it intends to take

measures meets the following criteria for being considered an area under housing

stress:

(a) the price-to-income ratio is equal to or exceeds the threshold of eight,

corresponding to eight years of disposable per-capita income to purchase

a dwelling of average size in the residential building stock of the area

concerned;

(b) the price-to-income ratio has increased over the period covering the most

recent 10 years of available data;

(c) in the absence of the measure, the housing stress is unlikely to ease

during the next three years following its adoption based on assessment of

the following elements:

(i) population dynamics;

(ii) supply of housing;

(iii) demand for housing.

2. Where the price-to-income ratio is equal to or exceeds the threshold of 10, paragraph

1, point (b), shall not apply.

3. When assessing whether an area meets the criteria set out in paragraph 1, the

competent authority shall base its assessment on objective, transparent and verifiable

data, and in compliance with sound statistical principles.

4. The price-to-income ratio shall be calculated using data, thresholds, indicators and

methodology specified in the Annex. Competent authorities may use alternative data

at a more granular level, provided that they can demonstrate that the resulting price-

to-income ratio is consistent with the thresholds referred to in paragraph 1, point (a),

and paragraph 2.

5. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15

to amend paragraph 1, point (a), and paragraph 2 of this Article, as regards the

thresholds, and the Annex, as regards the data, thresholds, indicators and

methodology used for calculation, where objective developments, demonstrated by

EN 13 EN

relevant statistical or other reliable evidence, make such amendments necessary to

ensure an accurate measurement of housing affordability pressures.

Article 7

Territorial scope of an area under housing stress

The territorial scope of an area under housing stress referred to in Article 6 shall not exceed

what is necessary to safeguard housing affordability and availability. Such areas may be

districts, municipalities, metropolitan areas, functional urban areas, agglomerations, rural

areas or any part thereof.

Article 8

Non-discrimination

The measures shall not be directly or indirectly discriminatory between nationals of Member

States on grounds of nationality or, in the case of legal persons established in a Member State,

on grounds of their Member State of establishment.

Article 9

Necessity

1. The measures may only be taken if they are justified by the need to safeguard

housing affordability and availability in the areas under housing stress referred to in

Article 6.

2. A competent authority shall take measures referred to in Article 5(1), point (a), only

where it can demonstrate that the provision of short-term accommodation rental

services in the area under housing stress has had a significant adverse effect on the

availability or affordability of housing in that area over at least three years preceding

the adoption of the measure. Where available, the competent authority shall take into

account data obtained pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/1028.

3. A competent authority shall take measures referred to in Article 5(1), point (b), only

where it can demonstrate that acquisition and use of land and residential property for

purposes other than primary residence in the area under housing stress has had a

significant adverse effect on the availability or affordability of housing in that area

over at least three years preceding the adoption of the measure.

4. Measures referred to in Article 5(1), point (b) concerning long-term vacancy shall

not apply where non occupation is justified, including by reasons of temporary

absence for work, education or training, health, ongoing succession proceedings,

legal impediment to occupation or inhabitability.

Article 10

Proportionality

1. The measures shall be suitable for attaining the objective pursued, shall not go

beyond what is necessary to attain that objective and shall meet the following

requirements:

EN 14 EN

(a) they are territorially limited to the area under housing stress and, where

appropriate, calibrated to different levels of housing stress within the

area;

(b) they are based on an assessment that no other less restrictive measure

would be sufficient to improve housing affordability and availability in

an equally effective manner within a reasonable period;

(c) they comply with the principles of legal certainty and the protection of

legitimate expectations;

(d) for measures referred to in Article 5(1), point (a), they are calibrated to

forms of short-term accommodation rental activity that, by reason of their

scale, frequency or commercial character, are more likely to reduce the

availability of housing for long-term residential use;

(e) for measures referred to in Article 5(1), point (a), the competent authority

applies and enforces Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 in the relevant

geographical area, in particular its provisions on registration, including

suspension and withdrawal of registration numbers, verification, data-

sharing and orders requiring the removal or disabling of listings without a

registration number, with an invalid registration number or involving

misuse of a registration number;

(f) for measures referred to in Article 5(1), point (b), insofar as they impose

restrictions on the acquisition of residential property and land, they apply

only to property and land acquired after the date of application of the

measure;

(g) for measures referred to in Article 5(1), point (b) relating to long-term

vacancy, they are calibrated, on the basis of objective criteria, to the

nature and extent of long-term vacancymost likely to reduce the

availability of housing for long-term residential use, taking into account

in particular the number of dwellings held by the same owner in the area

concerned, the duration of non-occupation or acquisition by legal

persons.

2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, where measures affect existing lawful situations,

they shall include appropriate transitional arrangements.

Article 11

Procedural safeguards and judicial review

Natural and legal persons affected by the measures taken pursuant to Article 5 shall have

access to appropriate procedural safeguards and to effective judicial review of those measures,

including the possibility to challenge the assessments carried out by the competent authority

to ensure compliance with Articles 6 to 10.

Article 12

Duration and review of measures

1. Measures shall be adopted for a period not exceeding five years. They may be

extended where, following the review referred to in paragraph 2, the competent

authority concludes that the requirements laid down in Articles 6 to 10 continue to be

fulfilled.

EN 15 EN

2. A competent authority shall regularly review whether a measure referred to in Article

5 continues to comply with the requirements laid down in Articles 6 to 10. The first

review shall be carried out within five years from the date of adoption of the

measure.

3. Where, following the review, a competent authority concludes that a measure no

longer fulfils the requirements laid down in Articles 6 to 10, it shall withdraw that

measure without undue delay.

Article 13

Publication of the measures

1. A competent authority shall make publicly available information on any measure

adopted pursuant to Article 5, and on the extension, amendment or withdrawal of the

measure, before its entry into force.

2. The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall include:

(a) the assessments carried out by the competent authority to ensure

compliance with Articles 6 to 10;

(b) the precise territorial scope of the area under housing stress and of the

measure;

(c) the duration of the measure.

1. FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE

1.1. Title of the proposal/initiative

Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework

for measures in Member States to safeguard housing affordability and availability

(Affordable Housing Act)

1.2. Policy area(s) concerned

Affordable housing

Internal Market

Better regulation and evidence-based policymaking

Data and monitoring

1.3. Objective(s)

1.3.1. General objective(s)

General Objective 1: To improve legal certainty, transparency and predictability

regarding the compatibility with Union law of housing-related measures affecting the

internal market.

General Objective 2: To ensure that restrictions to the internal market are

proportionate and a measure of last resort by providing a common methodological

approach that encourages public authorities to consider both demand-side measures

and housing supply, within the limits of EU competence.

1.3.2. Specific objective(s)

Specific objective No

Specific Objective 1.1: Ensure that areas under stress are identified by using

common, evidence-based and transparent criteria to determine when housing

affordability and availability can justify public intervention

Specific Objective 1.2: Establish common procedural requirements governing the

proportionality of specific housing-related interventions affecting the internal market.

Specific Objective 2.1: Support competent authorities in identifying appropriate

measures to increase housing supply in and around areas under housing stress.

1.3.3. Expected result(s) and impact

Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the

beneficiaries/groups targeted.

The main direct benefits of the Proposal are improved legal certainty,

transparency, predictability and consistency in the application of Union law. A

common methodology, procedural safeguards, publication requirements and periodic

review would support competent authorities in identifying areas under housing stress

and provide a clearer and more structured basis for assessing whether housing-related

restrictions affecting internal market freedoms are justified and proportionate. This is

expected to reduce regulatory uncertainty, administrative burden, compliance costs

and avoidable litigation for competent authorities, citizens and economic operators.

Data made available under Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 would further strengthen the

EN 20 EN

evidence available for assessing the contribution of short-term rental activity to local

housing pressures, where relevant. Effects on housing affordability and availability

would be indirect, local and dependent on implementation choices by competent

authorities and wider housing market conditions. Residents in areas under housing

stress may benefit where better targeted measures are adopted alongside action to

address housing supply constraints.

1.3.4. Indicators of performance

Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.

Monitoring will focus on the operation of the governance framework, including the

use and review of the criteria to assess housing stress, the availability and use of

evidence underpinning the identification of areas under housing stress and the

measures adopted, developments in the number and grounds of legal challenges,

including successful challenges relating to evidential or procedural deficiencies

addressed by the Regulation, and whether supply-side considerations are reflected in

local responses to housing stress.

☒ a new action

¨ a new action following a pilot project / preparatory action19

¨ the extension of an existing action

¨ a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action

19 As referred to in Article 58(2), point (a) or (b) of the Financial Regulation.

EN 22 EN

1.5. Grounds for the proposal/initiative

1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for

roll-out of the implementation of the initiative

The proposal establishes a common Union framework governing the assessment,

under Union law, of measures adopted by competent authorities to safeguard housing

affordability and availability where such measures affect the internal market. It lays

down a common methodology for assessing housing stress and common procedural

requirements governing the justification, proportionality, transparency and review of

those measures.

Following the entry into force of the Regulation, Member State authorities will be

responsible for its application and compliance with the publication and review

requirements laid down in the Regulation. The Commission will support

implementation by making available relevant data, including through the Mapadomo

database where appropriate, providing guidance and facilitating exchanges with

Member States and stakeholders.

Once the Regulation becomes applicable, competent authorities may adopt, amend or

review measures in accordance with the common framework established by the

Regulation. The Commission will monitor the implementation and application of the

Regulation and evaluate its effectiveness in accordance with the review clause.

1.5.2. Added value of EU involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g.

coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For

the purposes of this section 'added value of EU involvement' is the value resulting

from EU action, that is additional to the value that would have been otherwise

created by Member States alone.

Reasons for action at EU level (ex-ante)

The need for Union action arises because, while housing policy remains primarily a

national, regional and local competence, the compatibility of housing-related

measures affecting the internal market with Union law is governed by EU rules and

interpreted by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The CJEU jurisprudence remains limited, case-specific and therefore it does

not establish common methodologies for identifying housing stress, assessing causal

links, defining territorial scope, determining duration or evaluating effectiveness. It

does not and cannot establish a common methodology or procedural framework for

assessing housing stress or for demonstrating that housing-related measures affecting

the internal market are justified. Nor can individual Member States, acting alone,

ensure a coherent and consistent approach.

Expected generated EU added value (ex-post)

The added value of Union action is therefore to establish a common procedural

framework that reconciles local flexibility with shared safeguards ensuring coherence

with Union law. The initiative does not create a new area of Union competence or a

new obligation to assess housing-related measures. Rather, it establishes a

common methodology and procedural framework for applying existing Union law

requirements. The initiative provides common conditions for identifying housing

stress and for assessing the justification and proportionality of housing-related

EN 23 EN

measures, while preserving the discretion of competent authorities to decide whether

intervention is necessary, which measures to adopt and how they should be designed.

It improves legal certainty, transparency and predictability without harmonising

substantive housing policies or replacing national, regional or local competences.

1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past

Experience gained in implementing internal market legislation has shown that

common legal frameworks are most effective when accompanied by timely guidance,

structured dialogue with Member States and consistent monitoring of

implementation. These activities reduce legal uncertainty, facilitate compliance and

help prevent unnecessary infringement proceedings. The proposal therefore requires

adequate human and financial resources to support implementation, while relying as

far as possible on existing Commission expertise and digital tools.

1.5.4. Compatibility with the multiannual financial framework and possible synergies with

other appropriate instruments

The proposal is compatible with the Multiannual Financial Framework.

The expenditure concerns:

– data infrastructure and governance

– implementation, monitoring and evaluation

– legislative follow-up

– stakeholder engagement.

The costs are comparable to other Union initiatives establishing common

frameworks and evidence infrastructures, such as European statistics, data

governance and interoperability frameworks.

The activities to be financed in support of the implementation of the present proposal

will benefit from synergies with other horizontal activities in the area of economic

modelling.

1.5.5. Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for

redeployment

Following the assessment of different available financing options the Commission

concluded the resources could be obtained from redeployment from relevant housing

funding programmes under the current MFF and from Heading 7 share allocated to

other funding programmes. There is no specific budget line or spending programme

dedicated to housing in the current MFF.

1.6. Duration of the proposal/initiative and of its financial impact

☐ limited duration

– ☐ in effect from [DD/MM]YYYY to [DD/MM]YYYY

– ¨ financial impact from YYYY to YYYY for commitment appropriations and

from YYYY to YYYY for payment appropriations.

☒ unlimited duration after 20 days from the publication of the Proposal in the

Official Journal,

– Implementation as

EN 24 EN

– followed by full-scale operation.

1.7. Method(s) of budget implementation planned20

☒ Direct management by the Commission

– ☒ by its departments, including by its staff in the Union delegations;

– ¨ by the executive agencies

¨ Shared management with the Member States

¨ Indirect management by entrusting budget implementation tasks to:

– ¨ third countries or the bodies they have designated

– ¨ international organisations and their agencies (to be specified)

– ¨ the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund

– ¨ bodies referred to in Articles 70 and 71 of the Financial Regulation

– ¨ public law bodies

– ¨ bodies governed by private law with a public service mission to the extent that

they are provided with adequate financial guarantees

– ¨ bodies governed by the private law of a Member State that are entrusted with the

implementation of a public-private partnership and that are provided with

adequate financial guarantees

– ¨ bodies or persons entrusted with the implementation of specific actions in the

common foreign and security policy pursuant to Title V of the Treaty on

European Union, and identified in the relevant basic act

– ¨ bodies established in a Member State, governed by the private law of a Member

State or Union law and eligible to be entrusted, in accordance with sector-specific

rules, with the implementation of Union funds or budgetary guarantees, to the

extent that such bodies are controlled by public law bodies or by bodies governed

by private law with a public service mission, and are provided with adequate

financial guarantees in the form of joint and several liability by the controlling

bodies or equivalent financial guarantees and which may be, for each action,

limited to the maximum amount of the Union support.

2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES

2.1. Monitoring and reporting rules

The tasks directly implemented by the Task Force Housing (TFH) related to the

monitoring of the implementation and application of the proposal, will follow the

annual cycle of planning and monitoring, as implemented in the Commission,

including reporting through the Annual Activity Report of DG ENER.

20 Details of budget implementation methods and references to the Financial Regulation may be found on

the BUDGpedia site: https://myintracomm.ec.europa.eu/corp/budget/financial-rules/budget-

implementation/Pages/implementation-methods.aspx.

EN 25 EN

2.2. Management and control system(s)

2.2.1. Justification of the budget implementation method(s), the funding implementation

mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed

The implementation of the Regulation will primarily be the responsibility of the

competent authorities that decide to adopt housing-related measures falling within its

scope. The Regulation does not require the establishment of new national

administrative structures or Union bodies but lays down common procedural

requirements governing the assessment, justification, proportionality, transparency

and review of such measures.

For the Commission, the proposal will entail tasks relating to supporting

implementation, including the preparation of guidance, stakeholder dialogue,

monitoring and evaluation of the application of the Regulation, and, where

appropriate, enforcement of Union law. These activities will be carried out by the

Housing Task Force and other relevant Commission services, making use, where

possible, of existing administrative structures and digital tools. The proposed

implementation method therefore represents the most efficient and proportionate

means of achieving the objectives of the initiative while limiting additional

administrative costs.

2.2.2. Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up

to mitigate them

The principal implementation risk is the inconsistent application of the Regulation by

competent authorities, which could reduce legal certainty and predictability across

the Union. A further operational risk is that the reference data made available

through Mapadomo may not remain sufficiently up to date to support the assessment

of housing stress where such data are used.

These risks will be mitigated through the preparation of Commission guidance,

regular exchanges with Member States and stakeholders, monitoring of the

application of the Regulation, and, where appropriate, the use of the Commission’s

enforcement powers under the Treaties. The Commission will also ensure the

maintenance and periodic updating of the relevant tools using available data sources

and existing administrative resources.

2.2.3. Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio between

the control costs and the value of the related funds managed), and assessment of the

expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)

The initiative requires managing by the Commission service funds required to

maintain and manage the database and its correct application, however the cost-

effectiveness of the controls cannot be estimated at this stage.

The task assigned to the TFH will be implemented following the already existing

control system and the cost of controls is expected to remain minimal.

2.3. Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities

The initiative includes limited funds implemented through direct management mode.

No public procurement procedures are foreseen at this stage (e.g. for monitoring or

evaluation purposes).

EN 26 EN

DG ENER has adopted an Anti-Fraud Strategy (AFS) and an action plan, based on

the Commission AFS. A risk assessment is carried out every year internally to

identify areas most vulnerable to fraud, the controls in place and the actions

necessary to improve the capacity of DG ENER and the TFH to prevent, detect and

correct fraud.

EN 27 EN

3. ESTIMATED FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE

The estimated impact on expenditure and staffing for 2028 and beyond is added for

illustrative purposes only and does not pre-judge the next Multiannual Financial

Framework. The source of financing and scope of Union financial commitment in the

post-2027 period remain subject to the outcome of interinstitutional negotiations on

the MFF 2028-2034 and thereafter shall be determined through the annual budgetary

procedure. All appropriations and staffing allocations as of 2028 are indicative.

3.1. Heading(s) of the multiannual financial framework and expenditure budget

line(s) affected

The Proposal and its correct implementation will rely on the existing Commission

housing database Mapadomo developed jointly by ECFIN and JRC, which provides

granular NUTS 3 and LAU data on housing stocks and transaction prices and

supports the price-to-income indicator used to identify areas under housing stress.

This database is therefore a key digital enabling asset, allowing competent authorities

to reuse comparable Commission-held data and supporting consistent, evidence-

based implementation without establishing a separate AHA database. The database

requires continued maintenance and updating by Commission staff; these resource

needs are indicated in the tables below.

In addition, the proposed expenditure will be required to support the implementation

of the present proposal via stakeholder engagement (meetings with local and national

authorities, expert working groups), studies and evaluations.

Description of tasks to be carried out by:

Officials and temporary staff The implementation of the provisions of the Proposal will give rise to a

number of new tasks for the Commission, requiring dedicated resources

to ensure its effective and timely implementation. These tasks are of a

cross-cutting nature, combining policy coordination, monitoring and

evaluation, legislative follow-up, stakeholder engagement and data

governance in the areas of housing affordability, the internal market,

and evidence-based policymaking.

The allocation of 3 permanent official (AD) FTE within DG ENER is

required to ensure the long-term governance, coordination and

regulatory oversight of the new framework established under the

Proposal. This includes supporting the implementation of the

Regulation, monitoring its application across Member States, ensuring

coherence with the broader Union legal framework (including the

Treaties, the Services Directive and Regulation (EU) 2024/1028), and

following up on the implementation of the Commission

Recommendation on housing affordability in areas under housing stress.

These resources would cover in particular:

1. Monitoring, implementation and evaluation (1.5 FTE)

- coordinating the overall implementation in Member States by

competent authorities and other relevant stakeholders;

- monitoring implementation of the Regulation and preparation of

an evaluation report by 2031;

- ensuring consistency with broader internal market legislation

(TFEU, Services Directive, STR Regulation);

- coordinating with DG GROW, FISMA, SJ, JRC, ECFIN etc.

- follow up on the implementation of the Commission

Recommendation on housing affordability in areas under

housing stress

2. Legal implementation and enforcement (1 FTE)

- responding to implementation questions;

- preparation of Commission guidance;

- preparation of delegated act (if warranted);

- assessment of complaints;

EN 37 EN

- infringement work where necessary.

3. Stakeholder engagement (0.5 FTE)

- implementation dialogue;

- workshops;

- Member State exchanges;

- Housing Alliance discussions;

- website and publication;

- dissemination of guidance.

External staff

The estimated impact on expenditure and staffing for 2028 and beyond is added for

illustrative purposes only and does not pre-judge the next Multiannual Financial Framework.

The source of financing and scope of Union financial commitment in the post-2027 period

remain subject to the outcome of interinstitutional negotiations on the MFF 2028-2034 and

thereafter shall be determined through the annual budgetary procedure. All appropriations and

staffing allocations as of 2028 are indicative.

3.2.5. Overview of estimated impact on digital technology-related investments

Compulsory: the best estimate of the digital technology-related investments entailed

by the proposal/initiative should be included in the table below.

Exceptionally, when required for the implementation of the proposal/initiative, the

appropriations under Heading 4 should be presented in the designated line.

The appropriations under Headings 1-3 should be reflected as “Policy IT expenditure

on operational programmes”. This expenditure refers to the operational budget to be

used to re-use/ buy/ develop IT platforms/ tools directly linked to the implementation

of the initiative and their associated investments (e.g. licences, studies, data storage

etc). The information provided in this table should be consistent with details

presented under Section 4 “Digital dimensions”.

Alignment with the European Data Strategy

The initiative is aligned with the European Data Strategy because it prioritises the use, reuse and public availability of existing data to support

evidence-based public decision-making, rather than creating a separate data-collection architecture.

Alignment with the once-only principle

The once-only principle has been followed. The proposal introduces no new data-submission obligations for citizens, hosts, platforms or other

economic operators where the relevant information has already been collected under Regulation (EU) 2024/1028. Competent authorities can

rely on existing EU (e.g. Mapadomo), national, regional and local statistical and administrative data before undertaking any additional

collection.

The Proposal does not establish a new digital service, platform, database, reporting system or registration mechanism. Nor does it introduce

automated decision-making or algorithmic assessment. Competent authorities remain responsible for carrying out the assessments required by

the Regulation.

Calculation of price-to-income ratio pertaining to Commission dataset

1. Representative dwelling prices are calculated using the average transaction price of a

dwelling in the area concerned, expressed in euro, at NUTS 3 level in accordance with

Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council1.

2. For representative income per capita, the Commission provides annual time series of

the net disposable income of private households per capita, expressed in euro, based on

Eurostat data at NUTS 2 level or equivalent projections.

3. The two price-to-income ratio thresholds for the purposes of Article 6 shall be

calculated on the basis of the most recent available annual observations. On the basis of this

statistical analysis, the thresholds are set at 8 and 10 years, respectively, of per capita income

required to purchase an existing dwelling of average size in the residential stock of the area

concerned.
