HOLIDAY LETTINGS IN FRANCE: TIPS AND TRICKS holiday lettings.11 In another case, two companies that were owning several apartments in a building, and offered them as holiday lettings through various Internet platforms, were sued by the homeowners’ association. Nevertheless, given significant disturbance for other residents (noise at night, insult to residents, smoking or taking drugs in the stairs, etc.) the two companies were compelled to stop holiday lettings to tourists for only 16 months, as an unlimited prohibition to rent was found excessive by the court.12 Upon appeal, the court infirmed the prohibition to rent decision but rather ordered the two companies to take appropriate measures to stop neighbours’ disturbance against a daily fine of euros 1,500 for any reported infringement.13 Attractiveness of holiday lettings should now be measured with regards to recent court decisions applying strictly various applicable legislations. All concerned parties should act with prudence when intending to let or to offer for let tourist accommodation. 11 CA Montpellier, 29 Oct. 2020, n°19/04215. 12 TJ Paris, ref., 12 May 2021, n°20/56124. 13 CA Paris, 11 Feb. 2022, n°21/10676.
