Malaysia is finalising nationwide guidelines for short-term rental accommodation, with proposed requirements for operator registration, local authority licensing and a 180-night annual rental limit. But could tighter regulation undermine property investments and restrict owners' ability to generate rental income?

We discuss compliance costs, enforcement challenges, potential legal disputes and whether the proposed framework can strike a fair balance between protecting residents and supporting Malaysia's short-term rental market.
