Cape Town is drafting a Short-Term Letting By-law that would make every short-term rental register with the City and show a registration number; under the 2026/27 Rates Policy, homes let for more than half of the year’s room nights can be rated as commercial. The by-law is still a draft, so check a listing’s details and house rules before booking.
