Ban on short rentals in central Florence lapses

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 10 - A ban on short rentals in the UNESCO-listed historic centre of Florence has lapsed, the regional administrative court (TAR) of Tuscany said Wednesday.
    The ban was introduced to stem the tide of historic central properties being turned into Airbnbs.
    The TAR rejected an appeal from the city of Florence that would have extended the ban.
    The court said it had already been excluded from the municipal operational plan. (ANSA).
