In Prague, paid short-term stays usually need a Czech trade licence for accommodation services, a guest book and police reporting for foreign guests, plus any building (SVJ) rules. There is no single nationwide Airbnb-style register yet (eTurista is still being rolled out), so check the listing and house rules carefully.
