"It's the end of impunity"
"It's very good news. The message is now very clear - it's the end for impunity. No more illegal Airbnb. We can no longer afford to have people who only see housing as a speculative commodity, like any other."
Paris tribunals fined two apartment owners €81,500 and €75,000 each (€150,000 total) for illegally renting properties on Airbnb without required authorisation or tourist rental registration. The apartments were owned through SCIs, structures sometimes used for second-home ownership; Paris prohibits renting second homes and limits main residence rentals to 90 days per year. One owner must cease rentals and restore residential status or face €1,000 daily penalties. These convictions are the first under a November 2024 law that raised the maximum fine from €50,000, signaling stricter enforcement against speculative short-term rentals.
