The legislation of the seasonal rental has changed recently. For many years the local associations have complained about seasonal renting due to the shortage of accommodation in large cities. However, they still remain an attractive option if you are able to escape from your primary residence and go to your secondary residence on a regular basis. You must nevertheless be careful to not exceed four months a year otherwise you will have to file an official notification of change of use of the property (if the secondary residence) as well as filing for the furnished tourism rental\u00a0<\/strong>status at the local council. Despite this, recent attempts to force owners to obtain agreement from the whole co-ownership were rejected by France\u2019s Supreme Court.<\/p>\n In any case, it’s reasonable to assume that a rental agreement lasting six months would be the most logical contract length with regards to this type of property. It would mean that for example, persons who are retired will not be penalized whilst also benefitting from an additional source of income. Hopefully within a few years time, a new legal status must be created to properly recognize the seasonal renting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What is the easiest way to be helped when you aren\u2019t here ? Simple, a single contract with an official property manager<\/a> is the best and the most secure option. Management, search of tenants and other concierge services<\/a> for a short or long period of time can be provided. The property manager\u00a0<\/strong>also offers a financial guarantee which is the best protection for the owner to make sure that he receives his rental income. Here, there is also a huge advantage for the safety of the owner because if the property manager may go bankrupt, the rent already paid is guaranteed. One should be careful of many companies and internet platforms as they often collect rent without having the legal right to do so (under French law), on top of not providing any financial guarantee, nor civil liability insurance. A top tip is checking the company with the professionnal card (management) because it’s the legal document that allows the property manager to collect rent on behalf of the owner. If they don\u2019t have it, keep looking as finding the right person for the job for the long term, it’s essential !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The legislation of the seasonal rental has changed recently.
