Brussels is enforcing stricter regulations on short-term tourist rentals, sealing a building used for illegal tourist accommodation. The decision follows a year of unsuccessful dialogue with the building's manager.

New rent price regulations have also been introduced to combat high rents in the city. Authorities aim to address urban issues caused by unregulated rentals, such as noise pollution and competition with legitimate accommodations. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
