An almost zero risk of non-payment, no rent control, even more advantageous taxation… On paper, the rental of furnished tourist accommodation has everything to please. The reality is sometimes very different. The proof is with Pierre, who rented his Ile-de-France studio this summer via a specialized platform. The tenant found it so good that instead of staying there for only a few days, as planned, she played overtime, refusing to give the keys back to Pierre! Worse, she changed the lock… Small consolation for Pierre, his case is far from isolated, squatters “professionals” posing as tenants for a few days and taking advantage of a legal loophole to invade the premises.
In Toulouse, it was not squatting that the owner of a furnished tourist accommodation had to deal with, but rather damage. And what damage! Convinced that she had rented her property to a couple, she found it occupied by five people and cleanly trashedwith broken mirrors, burnt sheets and cigarette butts littering the floor.

Furnished tourist rental, from dream to nightmare
Another owner found her furnished tourist accommodation occupied by around forty people, with nearly 30,000 euros of damage the key! And what about this Parisian owner, whom the police called to search his tourist accommodation suspected of harboring drug trafficking? Still in Ile-de-France, an owner was also contacted by the police, her apartment being used in acts of prostitution…
