中文：EdgeProp于2026年10月23日报道，槟城拟修订私人短租住宿附例，把每个单位的最高房间数从5间提高到10间，并从2027年1月起下调运营者费用。修订案正在宪报程序，经营者仍须遵守执照及监管条件，新定义也旨在防止酒店借短租住宿规则规避执照要求。

English: EdgeProp reported on 23 October 2026 that Penang plans to amend its private short-term accommodation by-laws, raising the maximum rooms per unit from five to 10 and reducing operator fees from January 2027. The amendments are undergoing gazettement; operators must still comply with licensing and regulatory conditions, while revised definitions aim to prevent hotels from bypassing hotel licensing rules.

实际意义 / Why it matters: 规则变化可能影响槟城短租房东、管理机构和公寓业主，但最终生效日期及执行细节仍要以正式宪报和地方政府通知为准。 / The changes may affect short-stay hosts, managers and condominium owners in Penang, but the effective date and enforcement details should be checked against the final gazette and local authority notices.
