Law against misappropriation of housing space:
- forbidden to temporarily sublet > 50% of flat space
- landlord agreement required
- enforced from 1 May 2016
- fines up to € 100.000 in case of violation
- "fuzzy" legal description: different city districts handle it differently
(and almost back to pre-law level)
