Tourist rental

Municipality of The Hague

To monitor tourist rentals, the municipality combines data from licence registration and overnight bookings. A dashboard shows this information to inspectors, who use it to determine where inspections are needed. In case of violations, administrative measures can be taken.

Responsible use

Goal and impact

Gain insight into all licensed addresses of tourist rentals and reported stays, in order to select addresses for inspection for compliance with tourist rental rules. Administrative measures are used in case of violations.

Considerations

Inspectors cannot manually link all reports of rentals to licensed addresses, it takes too much time.

Human intervention

An inspector reviews the results before an inspection is carried out.

Risk management

We are updating the Privacy Statement. The algorithm is included in the algorithm register, and we communicate about our work through the website.

Legal basis

Under the Tourist Rental Act (Amendment Act to the Housing Act and Housing Ordinance 2023), the municipality is tasked with making rules and introducing a registration obligation for tourist rentals. With this legal basis, it is possible for the municipality to better address nuisance and housing shortages caused by this form of letting.

  • License plate camera enforcement Car-free Inner City

    Municipality of Delft

    The municipality uses ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras to check whether vehicles are allowed to enter a certain area (Autoluwe Binnenstad). The camera reads the license plate number; an algorithm checks whether entry is allowed. If this is not the case, a photo is offered to the enforcement system, where a BOA assesses whether a fine or warning will be issued.
