In recent years, the growth of the vacation rental industry has raised significant challenges for local communities. To address these concerns, France has introduced stricter regulations impacting both platforms and property managers.
The French Parliament has recently passed a new law aiming to regulate short-term rentals, reducing tax advantages and increasing oversight by local municipalities. According to MP Annaïg Le Meur, the legislation is not designed to prohibit rentals but to balance a necessary activity in tourist areas.
What does the new law mean for short-term rentals?
The new legislation aims to balance the booming tourism industry with the quality of life for residents. Key measures include:
- Rental limits: Stricter control over the maximum number of days primary residences can be rented out.
- Increased transparency: Platforms like Airbnb are required to share data with local authorities.
- Harsher penalties: Non-compliance can lead to significant fines.
This regulation represents a step towards professionalizing the sector, demanding a higher standard of compliance from property managers.
