What is short-term rental?
A short-term rental is a furnished home let for short stays — typically under 30 nights — through platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo, as opposed to a long-term tenancy.
Formula
STR revenue = ADR × 365 × occupancy
Example
€135 ADR at 60% occupancy = €29,565 a year, roughly 1.5–2.5× the rent of a long-term lease in a tourist city.
Why it matters
STR grosses more but nets less of it and is the target of most new European housing regulation — licences, night caps and registration numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Is STR legal everywhere in Europe?
No. Rules are set city by city; Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Vienna and London all restrict it in different ways.
Does Terrivio only analyse STR?
Terrivio is built for STR analysis but shows a long-term rental comparison in every report.
