Looking to rent a holiday home?
Check out our properties on Arlberg Rentals (opens in a new tab)Many new apartments in Alpine ski resorts come with a rental obligation: an operator lets the home to holiday guests, and you may stay in it only for the weeks the operator agrees to. The homes on this page have none. In Austria that is because they have second-home status (Zweitwohnsitz), which lets a home be used as a holiday home. You may use these homes all year, and letting them is your choice.
Rules on second homes and renting out differ from country to country. Our buying guides explain them.

An agreement, usually with a hotel operator, that a home is let to holiday guests. With a rental obligation you may stay in your own home only for the weeks the operator agrees to. Many new apartments in Alpine ski resorts are sold this way.
In Austria, nearly. A home with second-home status (Zweitwohnsitz; Freizeitwohnsitz in Tyrol, Ferienwohnung in Vorarlberg) may legally be used as a holiday home, so it needs no operator and no rental obligation. Elsewhere the reasons differ: in France, for example, a rental obligation usually comes from a lease to an operator that lets the buyer reclaim the VAT.
Often yes, but it is your choice. Local rules still apply: in parts of Austria, letting a second home to holiday guests needs a permit or is restricted, so tell us before you buy if letting matters to you.
