TASS, July 16th. The European Commission has required the online site the short-term rental of private homes Airbnb in order to change the price display order and bring the internal regulations in line with European legislation. This was reported Monday by the European Commissioner for Justice Vera Yurova.

The European Commission has asked the service to indicate on its website the total cost of renting housing with any additional payments, including cleaning or other services, or to warn tenants that the final cost may be superior to the original Airbnb should also note whether the lessor is a private person or a legal entity.

The European Commission's comments also related to violations of the European Directive on Unfair Contract Terms Airbnb must make the required changes by the European Commission before the end of August, otherwise the company can expect sanctions from the Commission. European Union
