Starting April 1st, 2026, Greece is implementing significant changes to rental payment regulations. All rent payments will now be mandatory through bank transfers, effectively ending cash payments for rental agreements. This new framework aims to strengthen transparency in the rental market and increase financial accountability for both landlords and tenants.
The measure applies broadly to rental transactions, though certain exceptions exist. It is clarified that the non-attachable limit does not apply automatically to rent payments, except in specific cases involving declared bank accounts. The regulation represents a significant shift toward formalizing Greece's rental sector and improving financial documentation.
