Italy

In Italy we have three member organisations whose contact information can befound below. Generally, Italy’s rental housing market is characterized by limited supply, rising rents, and strong demand in major cities such as Milan, Rome, and university towns. A culture of homeownership and landlord reluctance to rent restricts long-term rental stock, while the growth of short-term tourist rentals further tightens availability and worsens affordability for tenants.
