Rules vary across Windhoek. I don't have reliable, current information about short-term rental regulations and enforcement reality in Windhoek, Namibia. The regulatory framework for STRs in Windhoek is not well-documented in available sources, and I cannot accurately assess whether permits are required or how actively any rules are enforced. I'd recommend contacting the City of Windhoek municipality directly or consulting local property management experts for accurate, up-to-date information. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
