Does “personal use” also apply to friends and colleagues?

No. Personal use applies exclusively to:

• Owners
• Spouses or life partners
• Parents
• Descendants with spouses or life partners and children (as before)

Guests of persons entitled to owner-occupancy only pay compensation during the high season. Outside the high season, this compensation does not apply if at least one person entitled to owner-occupancy also uses the apartment during this period.
