Jazzer Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Another thread which seems to have disappeared,]In an article in FPN Jan 2010 it seems that under article 79(v) of Loi 2006-872, the prefecture of Paris is to get tough on homeowners who rent out their properties without proper authorisation. It appears that properties not classified as commercial cannot legally be rented out for periods of less than 1 year, unless to students(9 months) Max Fine 25000€Homeowners who wish to continue with holiday lets must apply for re-classification as a commercially zoned property. Bonapart Consulting are advising their 300 clients to go into long term lets.I have mentioned this to a property letting agent who has not heard of the law, and thinks it may apply only to Paris. I am not so sure, but can not see from Section 7 what is actually being said.Anyone else come across it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 This article , from the same consultancy, makes it clear that it is a Paris issue.http://www.bonapartparisnews.com/2009/11/bonapart-paris-are-at-the-forefront-of-exposing-recent-moves-made-by-the-city-of-paris-to-apply-laws-restricting-the-rental-o.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Many thanks. for the clarification.I do seem however to remember seeing a similar thread on Total France . which I can no longer find, where a permission had to be sought from the authorities to rent out, which in essence prompted my original post. Hopefully I am dreaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRoquette Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I have been researching this for two years and you can read comments and see links to the relevant laws on my blog at http://2337.comIt is an established law and is being applied only in Paris (at present) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Many thanks for that-I will make it my Sunday reading.It does seem to be the tip of an iceberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Sounds more like people are stiring something that doesn't require stiring outside of Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have now found the item on Total France under the heading "Gites and possible fines if not registered". From Pomhorn who is usually pretty up to date.Mention of a possible fine of 450€ under l'article 12 du dercret (NO 2009-1650) and article 24 de la loi No 2009-888. No doubt different from the Paris situation but worth investigating at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Well the fine for not having a pool alarm could be up to 45,000 euros I believe and no one seems to be chasing that and it probably applies to a number of gites also so I wouldn't fret too much unless you are in Paris.

Dominique Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Unfortunately this applies to all large cities in France (over 150,000 people I think)There were two articles in the Times recently:http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/buying_and_selling/article7049377.eceAND http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/buying_and_selling/article7057964.eceDominique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 For update please see Clair's thread " Compulsory registration of gite/holiday rental.I am not sure whether eventually they will be re-classified as commercial, but the registration part I mentioned previously appears to be correct.
