Letting in Moscow
Rules and licensing
Short-term letting is legal, though a 2024 law lets neighbours object and building meetings can restrict it. Hosts must register foreign guests with the migration authorities within seven working days — this is enforced, and the fine falls on the host.
Tourist tax
A resort fee applies in some Russian regions; Moscow does not levy one at present.
How the year is shaped
Steady, with May to September the peak and a strong New Year period. Bookings come almost entirely from within Russia and the CIS.
Who books here
Domestic business and leisure travel. Payment is the operational problem for foreign owners: cards from abroad do not work here and moving money out of the country is restricted, so this is a market for someone already inside it.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
What drives the number in Moscow

Cleaning
About €20 per stay, and roughly 59 stays a year at a four-night average.
