# Vienna to Vote on New Short-Term Rental Rules October 15, 2026 at 09:43 AM > The Vienna State Parliament faces calls from landlords to block a building amendment requiring separate entrances for guest rentals. The **Vienna State Parliament** is set to vote on a building regulation amendment for short-term rentals in the week following October 15, 2026. The proposed rules require new guest accommodations to have at least three units and a separate street entrance. The **Association of Apartment Landlords** (VDAV) issued a press release on Thursday, October 15, 2026, requesting that the amendment be blocked. Board members **Marcus Kriebel** and **Felix Gradinaru** demand the removal of the unit minimum and entrance requirements. Current law allows 20 percent non-residential space on upper floors, but the building authority notes that exceptional permits only apply to apartments. While the VDAV seeks fewer restrictions, the **Vienna Greens** argue the new rules are late and not strict.
