In Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, like in many parts of the Paris region, the rules for Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms are quite strict to protect the local housing market and ensure that rentals contribute positively to the community. Here are some specific regulations that Airbnb hosts must follow:
Registration Requirement: Hosts must register their property with the local town hall to obtain a registration number. This number must be displayed in all advertisements for the rental.
120-Day Limitation: Properties are typically only allowed to be rented out for short-term stays (less than 90 consecutive days for a guest) for a maximum of 120 days per year if it is the host’s primary residence. Beyond this limit, the property is considered a commercial accommodation and may require different permits and will have different tax implications.
Change of Use Authorization: If the property is not the host’s primary residence, a change of use authorization may be required to convert it from residential to commercial use, which is a more complex administrative process involving city hall.
Compliance with Safety and Housing Standards: All rentals must comply with various safety regulations, including having smoke detectors, and must meet the housing standards set by local laws.
