Anti-Airbnb Law: What Will Change in 2025

Why an Anti-Airbnb Law?

Bill 1176, also known as the “Anti-Airbnb Law,” aims to correct imbalances in the rental market in high-demand areas. It has been renamed the “Bill to Strengthen Local Regulation Tools for Furnished Tourist Accommodation.”

With the rise of short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and their impact on the real estate market, many French cities and local governments have taken measures to regulate this short-term rental sector.

Starting in 2025, new regulations will come into effect to protect residents, limit abuses, and restore a balance between tourism and housing for residents. The ongoing reform does not question the advantages of LMNP.

What do you need to know if you own a secondary residence? Here are the key points.

New Rules and What They Change for Your Rentals

Municipalities can now lower the maximum threshold from 120 days/year to 90 days/year for primary residences, thereby strengthening their local control.

A Single National Rental Activity Declaration

No more separate declarations between town halls. Now, all furnished tourist rentals must be declared via a single national online service (even tourist rentals within a primary residence).

A tourist registration number will be issued, and an upcoming decree will specify the required supporting documents.

Here are the new thresholds and allowances for the Micro-BIC regime:

  • Furnished tourist rental: 30% allowance if turnover < €15,000
  • Classified furnished tourist rental: 50% allowance if turnover < €77,700
  • Furnished residential rental: 50% allowance if turnover < €77,700

Beyond these thresholds, landlords will be required to switch to the actual expense regime.

Micro-BIC Simulator vs. Actual Expense Regime.

Below these thresholds, they can still opt for the actual expense regime, which allows them to deduct all expenses as well as the accounting depreciation of the property and furniture.

💡 A key advantage for savvy landlords.

Fighting Against Energy-Inefficient Homes

For several years, the government has been increasing measures to improve the energy performance of buildings, notably with the obligation to carry out an Energy Performance Diagnosis (DPE). For owners of overly energy-intensive properties, a rental ban is applicable, unless renovation work is carried out to improve these performances.

ATTENTION: From January 1, 2025, G-rated housing will be prohibited for rental, both as primary residences and tourist rentals.

All properties rented on platforms like Airbnb must have an Energy Performance Diagnosis (DPE) of at least E.

For properties already on the market, a 10-year period is granted to improve energy performance.
