🏡 If you rent your accommodation on Airbnb as a furnished tourist rental, you are exempt from residence tax if it is your main residence, lived in for at least eight months per year. However, for secondary residences, even if not used, the tax persists, and cities like Paris, Lyon, and Marseille may apply a surcharge. Classification as a furnished tourist rental could result in exemption from the residence tax but might incur the Business Property Contribution (CFE). Consulting with tax authorities is recommended to clarify tax status and avoid fiscal pitfalls.

🏨 Open reservations early to allow for advance planning. Update availability across platforms like Airbnb, Booking, and personal websites to prevent double bookings. Utilize management software for automatic synchronization of listings. Offer preferential rates for early bookings to fill your schedule before summer. Ensure a seamless guest turnover by preparing your accommodation, optimizing cleaning with professionals, and providing ample supplies like linen and soap. Use secure key boxes or smart locks for hassle-free check-ins. Maintain proactive and warm communication with guests by sending personalized welcome messages, being responsive, and creating digital guides. Manage emergencies calmly with a ready list of professional contacts and good insurance. Encourage repeat visits by creating a memorable experience with welcome gifts, soliciting positive reviews, and using a newsletter for special offers. In summary, anticipate, organize, and provide an unforgettable experience to make your rental a seasonal success.
