You can refer to the Service-public.fr website on regulations applicable to furnished or unfurnished rentals in general and to vacation rentals.
Seasonal or tourist furnished rental as defined by the Direction Générale des Entreprises differs from a residential lease according to 2 criterias:
- the tenant does not elect domicile there, he resides there mainly for holidays;
- the seasonal rental must be concluded for a maximum period of 90 days with the same person.
The current regulations impose 2 constraints that severely limit short-term furnished rental:
- limit of 120 days per year if the accommodation is the owner's main residence
- change of use and especially inaccessible financial compensation imposed by many cities if the property is not the primary residence of the landlord-owner.
In addition, there is the obligation to register your property for short-term rental with the town hall, which facilitates the increasingly frequent inspections by the municipal services.
Failure to comply with these obligations is punishable by heavy fines (e.g. €50,000 for registration) and, like the Paris City Hall, cities are bound to take legal action to prosecute short-term rentals that do not comply with the regulations in force (record fines in 2018).
The trend is clear: town halls and the government want to strictly regulate short-term furnished rental in large cities or even eradicate it in some way in city centres. The legislative clamp is tightening on short-term rental landlords, particularly via Airbnb-type platforms. Controls and fines will increase.
The objective is to guide landlords towards medium and long-term rentals (civil law lease, corporate lease, mobility lease, student lease, one-year furnished lease, 3-year unfurnished lease) and thus to put as many units as possible on the rental market for housing purposes as opposed to seasonal furnished tourist rental.
It is precisely this alternative to short term rental platforms such as Airbnb that we offer for owner-landlords: the possibility to rent their properties for a few months, a year or more in a legal, secure and profitable way.
Hundreds of owners have already taken the plunge and made the transition from short term to medium and long term with us. Do not hesitate to contact us to help you in this process.
