    You can read this article in French and English.

    We’ve put together this article to help Hosts on Airbnb become familiar with hosting responsibilities, and to provide a general overview of different laws, regulations, and best practices that may affect Hosts. You’re required to follow our guidelines, like our Hosting Standards, and to make sure that you follow the laws and other rules that apply to your specific circumstances and locale, such as Anti-Discrimination Standards.

    We recommend that you do your own research as this article isn’t comprehensive, and doesn’t constitute legal or tax advice. Also, as we don’t update this article in real time, please check each source and make sure that the information provided hasn’t recently changed.

    Health and cleanliness

    In the context of the COVID-19 health crisis, the implementation of appropriate health and safety measures will be at the heart of the recovery of the tourism sector. Global information about Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning protocol can be found in general info about hosting places to stay.

    Key recommendations on cleaning

    Local partnership with Ekoklean

    To help Hosts in France, Airbnb has closed a partnership with the French sustainable cleaning expert, Ekoklean. This collaboration with Ekoklean will contribute to the operational implementation in France of the global hygiene and cleanliness protocol developed by Airbnb in partnership with leading experts in hospitality and medical hygiene.

    As of July, Airbnb and Ekoklean offer a series of features and services developed to help French Hosts offer professional cleaning and disinfection services:

    • The "Ekoklean on demand" program: a new cleaning and disinfection service performed by teams of professional cleaners, available to hosts throughout France
    • Cleaning and disinfection kits containing environmentally friendly personal protective equipment and medically approved disinfectants

    To contact Ekoklean for more information, you can send an email to: contact@ekokleanondemand.fr

    National taxes

    Tax is a complex topic. Your own tax obligations can vary based on your particular circumstances, so we recommend that you research your obligations or consult a tax professional to get more specific information.

    In general, the money you earn as a Host on Airbnb is considered taxable income that may be subject to different taxes like income tax, corporate tax, and other taxes. You can contact the tax authority or any relevant professional, such as a business lawyer or chartered accountant, for more information.

    In 2017, the Tax Administration of France released information on how to determine your taxable earnings and report income for ancillary business. The Official Bulletin of Public Finances-Taxes (BOFiP-Taxes) can provide more information on your tax obligations and public obligations. France has a summary sheet with more information on tax for furnished property rentals that applies to both individuals and professionals.

    DAC7 - EU Data Sharing

    DAC7 references the EU Council Directive 2021/514, which requires online companies such as Airbnb to collect and report taxpayer information on certain platform users who earn income on the Airbnb platform. If you have a listing for a property located within one of the 27 EU Member States or you are resident in an EU Member State, DAC7 impacts you.

    A person is “resident” for DAC7 purposes in a country in which the person has their primary address and, in addition, any other country in which the person has been issued with a tax identification number (TIN).

    Check out our FAQ page for more information about how Airbnb shares tax data.

    Free tax guide

    We want to make it easy for you to understand your tax responsibilities as a Host on Airbnb, so we’ve partnered with with an independent third-party accounting firm to provide a free tax guide (Tax guide in French | Tax guide in English) that covers general tax information in France.

    Automatic reporting of Hosts' income to the French Tax Authorities

    From January 2020, online platforms operating in France, including Airbnb, are required by law to report specific data to the French tax authorities on a yearly basis. This data relates to the Hosts’ identity (including for individual Hosts their name, date of birth, and address), their activity on the platform during the previous calendar year (including their gross income and number of bookings), and payment method information (IBAN for most cases). This applies to both Homes Hosts and Experience Hosts. For more information, check out our article about automatic reporting of income to French Tax Authorities (you can read this article in French and English) as well as the dedicated page created by our partner Tacotax. 

    Tax categories

    You must report income from the rental of furnished premises on your annual tax return in the Industrial and Commercial Profit (BIC) category. You’ll also need to pay either residential tax or property tax, depending on whether you are a tenant or owner.

    Note: You aren’t automatically considered a professional Host if you rent a ranked furnished accommodation to guests.

    VAT

    Furnished rentals are not subject to VAT if you don’t include additional services.

    Annual earnings statements

    We send each Host their annual earnings statement in January to help them understand their fiscal and social tax obligations. You can view your gross earnings amount on your profile in your Airbnb account at any time.

    Micro BIC declaration of earnings

    Whether or not you’re a hospitality expert, you can opt for the Micro BIC scheme if you’re within an annual revenue limit:

    Unranked furnished accommodations

    The micro-bic scheme applies when the amount of your income last year or the year before doesn’t exceed €70,000 for renting the furnished residential premises. You benefit from a 50% flat-rate discount. Complete Declaration no. 2042-C-PRO.

    Non-professional Hosts should enter the total income they’ve received from rentals in line 5ND, 5OD, or 5PD.

    Hospitality experts of furnished accommodations should enter their total income from rentals in lines 5KP to 5MP.

    Ranked furnished accommodations or bed and breakfasts

    The threshold of the micro BIC scheme is raised to €170,000 if you qualify as a bed and breakfast or ranked tourist furnished accommodation. If you earn less than €170,000 in rental income per year, you can benefit from the micro BIC scheme, which reduces your income by a flat rate of 71%.

    Partial rentals of primary residences

    Income you’ve made in 2018 from renting part of your primary residence is exempted if:

    • The rent price is set within reasonable limits
    • Your rental earnings do not exceed €760 per year

    Professional bed and breakfasts

    You run a professional bed and breakfast (“chambre d’hôtes”):

    • You can come under the para-hotel tax system, not the furnished accommodation renting
    • You can report under other reporting regimes, such as BIC, real profits, Micro business, farm profits
    • You are liable for VAT and the property rental tax of companies

    The Tax Administration and the French government can provide more information about land use for professional bed and breakfasts.

    Hosts who use private real-estate companies

    Some Hosts use private real-estate companies (SCI) to help manage their real-estate assets. Your tax status is based on the type of relationship you have with a private real-estate company.

    Tourist tax

    Since 2015, hospitality platforms (including Airbnb) have been allowed to collect tourist tax on the price of overnight unclassified tourist accommodations. Check France’s guide to tourist tax for more information. Check with the Tax Administration for rate and collection calendars for each city or region.

    As of January 1, 2019, new laws have made it mandatory for platforms to collect and remit tourist tax in France. The calculation methods to determine the applicable rate has also changed for “unclassified dwellings” (meublés non classés). If your city has introduced tourist tax "au réel," Airbnb collects the correct amount of tourist tax on your behalf and remits it directly to your respective city.

    Exemptions

    Exemptions may apply to guests, including:

    • Minors
    • People who are staying as part of emergency accommodation or temporary relocation
    • Persons occupying premises whose rent is less than an amount determined by the municipal council
    • Seasonal employees of the city or region
    • Guests booking “mobility lease” accommodations in certain cities
    • Guests booking long-term stays of more than 365 days

    Important: In cities where Airbnb is rolling out registration (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nantes, Lille, Nice, Strasbourg, Marseille, La Rochelle, Reims, Bayonne, Anglet, Aix-en-Provence, Saint-Malo, Annecy, Arles, Nîmes, and La Baule-Escoublac to start with, as of 2021), guests who have booked a "mobility lease" accommodation are automatically exempt from paying tourist tax. The mobility lease is a residential lease and not a tourist lease, so it’s not subject to the collection of tourist tax. In those cities, Hosts who have selected the mobility lease exemption from the mandatory registration flow don’t have anything to do. The tourist tax will simply not be applied to the listing(s) at stake.

    Elsewhere in France, guests who have booked on Airbnb with a mobility lease will be charged tourist tax. They’ll be able to request a refund from the City Hall of the municipality in which they stayed. Guests will have to provide evidence that the mobility lease concluded, as well as the invoice confirming the payment of the tourist tax.

    Everywhere in France, guests booking long-term stays of more than 365 days are also automatically exempted from paying tourist tax.

    Check our article about French tourist tax exemptions for more information.

    Data shared with local authorities

    Starting January 1, 2019, platforms collecting tourist tax are required to provide to cities the following information, along with the amount remitted for each calendar year:

    • Date of collection of the tax
    • Address of the listing
    • Number of guests
    • Number of nights
    • Price per night (for non-classified listings only)
    • Total amount of tax collected during the year
    • Registration number, if applicable and included in the description of the listing (permit field)

    Social security affiliation

    The affiliation to social security is mandatory for all hosts who earn more than 23,000€ per year. You can learn more and register on the URSSAF website.

    Regulations and permissions

    It’s important to make sure you’re allowed to host on your property. Some examples of restrictions include contracts, laws, and community rules. You can use the general info in this article as a starting point around hosting regulations and permissions.

    If you have any doubts or concerns, do not hesitate to get in touch with municipal services or to look at the information provided by our partner Avostart, where you can also get in touch with specialized lawyers.

    You can also check out Airbnb Citizen to see recent updates to public policy that affect hosts.

    Furnished tourist property (Meublé de tourisme)

    A furnished tourist property rental (or “meublé de tourisme”) is a furnished residential space that you intend to use as a short-term rental for guests. Furnished tourist properties are for the exclusive use of non-permanent tenants.

    The furnished tourist property rentals category includes:

    • Furnished houses (including holiday homes)
    • Villas
    • Apartments
    • Studios

    A primary residence or a secondary residence rented in full can be deemed as “meublé de tourisme,” and the same applies to commercial spaces (ex: a former office or shop) turned into full time short term rentals. However, a guest room or private room is not considered a furnished tourist property, and as such, not subject to the same regulation. Hotels and other hotel-type spaces are also exempt from the registration obligation.

    Most furnished tourist properties are referred to as “non-ranked” (non-classés) but you can choose to rank your furnished tourist property in an existing category. In terms of tax, ranking your property may reduce your income by a flat rate of 71%.

    Accommodation categories

    In June 2018, Airbnb and the other members of Union Nationale Pour la Location de Vacances, the French Association of Short Term Rentals (UNPLV), made voluntary commitments to the French Government to support sustainable and healthy tourism. As a result, Hosts need to categorize their listings within those three categories: primary residence, secondary residence and non-residential space. You can confirm details within your Airbnb account in the Manage your space section.

    Primary residences

    Your primary residence is the place you live at for at least 8 months per year unless there is a professional constraint, health issue, or other unforeseen circumstances. You are allowed to rent it in full for a maximum of 120 days per year. You can rent a room in your primary residence without any duration limit, 365 days per year.

    Secondary residences

    A secondary residence is a place where you live for less than 4 months a year, including pied-à-terres and holiday houses. You can rent your secondary residence all year long provided you’ve declared your rental activity to the city. Some large cities might require you to file a change of use before being allowed to host (see the Change of use section of this article).

    Non-residential spaces

    Non residential spaces are accommodations dedicated to hosting tourists. This category includes hotels, bed and breakfasts, commercial spaces, or serviced apartments for instance. Some non-residential spaces are subject to the registration obligation, see below for more information.

    Bed and breakfasts are furnished rooms within a home that a tourist can rent for a fee for one night or more. The Host must be present and must provide services (at least the supply of linen and breakfast).

    Registration and declaration requirement

    You generally don’t have to declare your accommodation to the city if:

    • you rent your primary principal residence for less than 4 months per year
    • you rent a room in your primary main residence (no time limit)

    If you rent your secondary residence, you must send a simple declaration to your city.

    Specific registration obligation in some cities

    Since the Law for a Digital Republic and the ELAN Law, French laws state that certain municipalities may establish a procedure of "registration” for any person proposing an entire tourist-furnished accommodation (see definition above) for rent. This procedure is free and only takes a few minutes to complete. You must obtain a registration number from your city hall’s website and include it on your Airbnb listing before you start hosting.

    You must register your accommodation if:

    • You rent an entire primary or secondary residence, or a commercial space
    • You own or you rent this accommodation
    • You rent the full accommodation (rooms don’t need to be registered)

    You don’t need to register your accommodation if:

    • You rent a single room of your primary residence.
    • You rent a bed and breakfast (chambre d’hôtes), a hotel or another hotel-like type of accommodation.
    • You rent only on “bail mobilité” (mobility lease) scheme for a minimum of one month to a tenant justifying, on the effective date of the lease, to be in professional training, in higher studies, in apprenticeship contract, in internship, in voluntary engagement within the framework of a civic service, or on a temporary assignment in the context of his professional activity. Check out our article for more info about the mobility lease.
    • You rent for long-term stays only ie. for a minimum of 1 year.

    Important: In 2021, the Airbnb platform evolves to further support hosts in complying with those regulations in major cities. From the dates mentioned below, in those cities, only entire home listings with a registration number will be bookable on Airbnb for short periods . Listings without a registration number may still be offered for rent with “mobility leases” only or for long stays only (minimum period of 365 days).

    You can click on the city link to go directly to their dedicated website and register your listing in order to receive a registration number.

    Data shared with local authorities

    Since December 1, 2019, short-term rental platforms operating in France are required by the ELAN Act to provide municipalities that have introduced a “registration” procedure with information about accommodations (or “meublés de tourisme”) that are listed on Airbnb. Upon request of these municipalities (maximum once a year), we will provide the following information:

    • Address of the listing;
    • Registration number, if published on the listing; and
    • Number of nights stayed in the accommodation during the current calendar year and, possibly, during the previous calendar year
    • Name of the Host
    • Category of the accommodation, ie. whether the listing is a primary residence or not

    Municipalities can send their request for information to Airbnb Ireland UC at territoires@airbnb.com.

    Change of use

    Some cities and neighborhoods require permission to use your secondary home as a tourist rental. You can get permission for change of use from your local city hall.

    Additional procedures may apply such as obtaining a "Siret number." You can learn more about how to obtain a Siret number.

    Rules for hosts in Paris

    Paris registration requirement

    In October 2017, Paris City Hall established a registration rule for hosting furnished property or “meublé de tourisme” on short-term rentals for primary and secondary residences. Hosts in Paris generally need to get a registration number from Paris City Hall and include it in their listing before they’re permitted to accommodate guests.

    The registration requirement doesn't apply to:

    • individual rooms within your primary residence (also referred to as private rooms).
    • Hotels and other hotel-type accommodations.
    • Rentals with “bail mobilité” (mobility lease) scheme only, for a minimum of one month. We’ve partnered with LegalPlace to provide hosts of mobility lease rentals with lease agreement templates.
    • Rentals for long terms stays only, as in 1 year minimum.

    Check out our Paris registration article for more information about registration requirements in the city.

    How to register your Airbnb accommodation in Paris

    Follow these 6 steps to obtain your registration number:

    1. Go to the Paris City Hall website
    2. Create an account and fill in your information (you’ll immediately receive an acknowledgment of receipt with a unique 13-digit registration number upon completion)
    3. Go to your Airbnb host account page
    4. Click Manage My Listing >Registration
    5. Enter the number you received by email in the registration number field
    6. Click Save

    Check Paris City Hall’s FAQ page, contact them via email, or call them at 39 75 (within France) if you have additional questions. You can also check the Avostart website, where you can also get in touch with specialized lawyers.

    The Airbnb platform evolves to further support Hosts in complying with those regulations in Paris.

    Since June 30, 2021, all entire home listings available for short-term rentals must display a registration number. However, non-registered listings may still be available to be rented with mobility leases only or for long stays only (minimum period of 365 days).

    Change of use and compensation in Paris

    In addition to the other rules and exceptions for change of use, Paris requires you to purchase an equivalent surface area of a commercial space that you transform into a residential space. The rule is called a “compensation.” Compensations may vary across districts.

    Check with Paris City Hall or contact the Housing Department to start the change of use process. You can also read the municipal change of use regulations for more information.

    Change of destination and authorization commercial spaces in Paris

    If you plan to host guests throughout the year, you will need to convert your accommodation’s destination status by filing an application for an urban planning permission to the City Hall. A change of destination converts residential or non-residential premises, such as shops and offices, to tourist-furnished accommodations, which are part of the "hotel accommodation" destination.

    Paris City Hall has more information about changing a destination in Paris (see also here). You can also email the Housing Department if you have more questions.

    Also, based on a Decree from 11 June 2021, cities that have introduced mandatory registration have an additional tool to regulate commercial spaces. They may require those commercial spaces that do not require a change of destination (or of sub-destination) in order to be turned into full-time short term rentals to obtain a specific “authorization” from the city. This article provides helpful explanations. The Paris City Hall intends to rule accordingly, by way of local legislation, in the course of 2021 or early 2022.

    Night limits in France

    In France, entire primary homes listings are allowed to host reservations for a maximum of 120 nights per calendar year (from 1st January to 31st December). This does not apply to the rental of individual rooms, nor to secondary homes.

    Airbnb automatically enforces this night cap in a list of cities established by UNPLV, the French Holidays Homes Association (of which Airbnb is a member), in coordination with the French Government.

    Contact your city or visit its website for more information.

    Your primary home may be eligible for an exemption from that automated night cap, if one of the following reasons is met:

    • You must be away from your home for more than four months per year for health reasons, professional reasons, or force majeur
    • You rent your home exclusively as part of the “bail mobilité” scheme (minimum 30 days)

    To claim an exemption, go to your listing page in Law and regulations and then in Regulations. You will be required to attest that you are legally entitled to an exemption. 

    The exemption takes 24 hours to be processed. Be aware that the exemption is permanent. When and if the exemption no longer applies to your listing, please contact terms@airbnb.com to remove the exemption.

    We’ve partnered with LegalPlace to provide Hosts of mobility lease rentals with lease agreement templates.

    Hospitality expert self-identification as a professional

    You can identify yourself on Airbnb as a professional if you are a hospitality expert. European rules and the Consumer Code in particular provide that professionals provide information about their company before travelers make a reservation, so that they have clear and transparent information.

    In order to help EU businesses meet their legal obligations, we’ve added the ability to add and edit your company information in the Contact information for your company section of your Account Settings. After you provide your business contact information, it will automatically be displayed on all your existing and future listings.

    Therefore, it’s up to you to determine whether your activity on Airbnb is of a professional nature or not. If you aren’t sure, you should seek independent legal advice. Hospitality experts also might have different tax and public obligations from individual Hosts.

    Co-ownership

    In principle, co-ownership regulations can only prohibit short-term rentals if the building is intended exclusively for dwellings of a particularly high standard or for mixed professional-residential use, excluding any commercial destination.

    If you are an owner, contact your tenants' or owners’ association to make sure you can rent to guests.

    Subletting

    If you’re a renter, we recommend reviewing your lease agreement and checking with your landlord. You usually need to get written approval from your landlord and comply with certain conditions to sublet as a tenant. You may consider adding an appendix to your contract that addresses any concerns, responsibilities, and liabilities for all parties.

    We’ve partnered with LegalPlace to provide you with lease agreement templates.

    Subsidized housing restrictions

    Subsidized housing usually has rules that prohibit subletting without permission. Check with your housing authority or housing association if you live in a subsidized housing community and are interested in becoming a Host.

    Low-income housing

    Partial or total subletting of social rental accommodation is prohibited and punishable by a fine of €9,000 and termination of the lease to the detriment of the tenant, in accordance with article L.442-8 of the French Code of Construction and Housing (Code de la construction et de l'habitation).

    Rent control

    If you live in an accommodation in a municipality that has introduced a cap on rents, there may be special rules that apply to you. Contact your City Hall to ask questions about this topic.

    Housemates

    Help your housemates understand what they can expect if you’re hosting in your own home. You can consider making a formal housemate agreement with them to outline expectations. Housemate agreements can include how often you plan to host, how you'll ensure guests follow your house rules, whether you'll share revenue, and more.

    EU consumer protection law

    According to EU consumer protection law, when you commercially offer goods or services online, you’re required to provide your customers with specific information. When you host through Airbnb, it’s considered a service.

    Safety

    We care about the safety of Hosts and their guests. You can improve your guests’ peace of mind by providing a few simple preparations like emergency instructions and noting any potential hazards.

    Emergency contact information

    Include a contact list with the following phone numbers:

    • Local emergency numbers
    • The number for the nearest hospital
    • Your contact number
    • A number for a backup contact (in case guests can’t reach you)

    It’s also a good idea to make sure guests know the best way to contact you in case of an emergency. You can also communicate with guests using messages on Airbnb as a safe alternative.

    Important emergency numbers for France:

    • EMS: 15
    • Police: 17
    • Fire rescue: 18
    • European emergency number: 112

    Medical supplies

    Keep a first aid kit and tell your guests where it is. Check it regularly so you can restock supplies if they run out. Paris civil protection has suggestions for what you should keep in a first aid kit.

    Fire prevention

    Every residence in France, including apartments and houses, must be equipped with standardized smoke detectors. The Ministry of the Interior has more information about fire safety devices.

    Make sure that your residence complies with the safety guidelines of your district or city. Make sure you have a working fire extinguisher available. Check it regularly to make sure it’s in working order.

    Exits

    Ensure you have a clearly marked fire escape route. Post a map of the route so it’s easy for guests to see.

    Hazard prevention

    Here are some ways you can help prevent potential hazards:

    • Inspect your home to identify any areas where guests might trip or fall
    • Remove the hazards you identify or mark them clearly
    • Fix any exposed wires
    • Make sure your stairs are safe and have railings
    • Remove or lock up any objects that may be dangerous to your guests

    Child safety

    Some guests travel with young family members and need to understand if your home is right for them. You can use the Additional notes section of Listing details in your Airbnb account to indicate potential hazards or indicate that your home isn’t suitable for children and infants.

    Decent accommodation

    Your accommodation must comply with certain standards to be considered decent accommodation. It should be properly ventilated and that the temperature control is clearly marked and in working order. Make sure your guests know how to safely operate the heater or fireplace.

    Occupancy limits

    Establish safe occupancy limits. Your local government may have guidelines.

    Courtesy

    Part of being a responsible Host is helping your guests understand best practices for interacting with your community. When you communicate local rules and customs with your guests, you’re helping to create a great experience for everyone.

    Building rules

    If your building has common spaces or shared amenities, let guests know the rules for those places.

    House rules

    You can include your house rules on the Additional notes section of Listing details in your Airbnb account. Guests usually appreciate it when you share your expectations with them upfront.

    Neighbors

    It’s usually a good idea to let your neighbors know if you’re planning to host. This gives them the chance to let you know if they have any concerns or considerations.

    If your neighbors notice any disturbances related to the occasional accommodation of Airbnb guests, they can file a complaint.

    Noise

    Guests book through Airbnb for lots of reasons, including vacations and celebrations. Let your guests know how noise impacts neighbors early on for a smoother experience.

    If you’re concerned about disturbances to your community, there are different ways you can help limit excessive noise:

    • Implement a quiet hours policy
    • Don’t allow pets
    • Indicate that your listing isn’t suitable for children or infants
    • Prohibit parties and additional unregistered guests

    France’s Public Health Code sanctions noises that are likely to infringe on the neighborhood's tranquility or health due to duration, repetition, or intensity.

    France clearly defines punishable noise violations and an owner’s responsibility to enforce noise regulations. Paris also has specific rules to prevent disturbances.

    Parking

    Communicate any parking rules for your building and neighborhood to your guests. Examples of possible parking rules:

    • Only park in an assigned space
    • Don’t park on the west side of the street on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to street cleaning
    • Street parking is only available from 7pm–7am

    Pets

    First, check your lease or building rules to make sure there isn’t a restriction on pets. If you allow guests to bring pets, they’ll appreciate knowing good places to exercise their pet or where they should dispose of waste. Share a backup plan, like the number of a nearby pet kennel, in case a guest's pet upsets the neighbors.

    Privacy

    Always respect your guests' privacy. Our rules on surveillance devices clearly state what we expect from our hosts, but some locations have additional laws and regulations that you’ll need to be aware of.

    Smoking

    If you don't allow smoking, we suggest posting signs to remind guests. If you do allow smoking, be sure to provide ashtrays in designated areas.

    Insurance

    Work with your insurance agent or carrier to determine what kind of obligations, limits, and coverage are required for your specific circumstances.

    Host damage protection and Host liability insurance

    AirCover for Hosts includes Host damage protection and Host liability insurance, which provide you with basic coverage for listed damages and liabilities. However, these don’t take the place of homeowner's insurance, renter's insurance, or adequate liability coverage. You might need to meet other insurance requirements as well.

    We strongly encourage all Hosts to review and understand the terms of their insurance policy coverage. Not all insurance plans will cover damage or loss of property caused by a guest who books your accommodation.

    Learn more about AirCover for Hosts.

    Basic coverage

    Insurance for a furnished tourist accommodation for seasonal rental is not required for tenants or owners. However, we encourage you to review your renter's or homeowner's policy with your insurance carrier to make sure you have adequate coverage to accommodate guests. Ensure you have adequate liability coverage and property protection.
