Investing in real estate in the Pays de Gex attracts many owners, in particular because of its proximity to Geneva and its economic dynamism.

But a question always comes up: what profitability can we really expect from a vacation rental?

Between perception and reality, there is often a gap. However, understanding the right levers makes it possible to fully exploit the potential of a property.

‍

A particularly attractive sector

The Pays de Gex benefits from a unique position. At the Swiss border, it attracts at the same time:

• professional travelers traveling to Geneva
• tourists in search of nature
• short or medium term stays

This diversity of profiles allows for relatively stable demand throughout the year.

Unlike some purely tourist areas, short-term rentals in the Pays de Gex do not depend solely on the season.

‍

What income according to the type of property?

Profitability obviously depends on several factors:
location, surface, quality of housing and level of service.

Income estimates

• T2 well located: between €1,500 and €2,500/month
• T3 or family accommodation: between €2,500 and €4,000/month
• High-end goods: can go beyond

Factors that influence earnings

These numbers vary according to:

• The occupancy rate
• of the pricing strategy
• of the quality of management

‍

The impact of management on profitability

Two similar properties can have very different performances.

The difference is not only in the housing, but in how it is operated.

The key elements of effective management

• adapted pricing (week, weekend, events in Geneva)
• an optimized and well-positioned ad
• professional photos
• reactive management of requests
• an impeccable customer experience

A well-managed property is more visible, better rated, and therefore more reserved.

‍

The occupancy rate: a key driver

Profitability depends not only on the price per night, but on the number of nights occupied.

A slightly cheaper but regularly booked home can generate more income than a property that is more expensive but not very busy.

Optimize your occupancy rate

In the Pays de Gex, this is based on:

• a constant presence on the platforms
• optimized availability management
• an adaptation to traveller profiles

‍

Seasonal rental or long-term rental?

Many owners hesitate between these two models.

Long term rental

• stable earnings
• simplified management
• high demand (workers in Geneva)

An ideal option for safety and tranquility

Seasonal rental

• profitability is often higher
• more active management
• operational flexibility

A model adapted to maximize revenue

In the Pays de Gex, short duration has a major advantage:
the diversity of demand makes it possible to adjust the strategy according to the periods.

‍

Conclusion

A property in the Pays de Gex has a high rental potential, whether for a short or long term.

But this potential is not expressed automatically:
it depends directly on:

• the quality of presentation
• management strategy
• the regularity of the follow-up

Vacation rentals represent a real opportunity for owners who want to maximize their income.

It is built over time, thanks to:

• rigorous management
• constant optimization
• attention to every detail

An adapted approach makes it possible to reveal untapped potential, while maintaining real peace of mind on a daily basis.

Two apartments. Same surface. Same neighborhood. Same standing.

And yet, one generates €2,800 per month when the other tops out at €1,600. It's not a matter of luck. It's a management issue.

In the Pays de Gex, where rental demand is sustained all year round thanks to the proximity of Geneva, this phenomenon is particularly visible. The potential is there. But it is not expressed in the same way depending on how the property is used.

‍

A buoyant market... but demanding

The Pays de Gex benefits from a rare geographical position. A few minutes from Geneva, it attracts a varied and regular clientele:

• international executives on mission,
• families in transition,
• tourists looking for privileged access to the Alps and Lake Geneva.

This diversity of profiles is a considerable asset. It guarantees stable demand, even outside of seasonal peaks.

But it also implies a higher demand on the part of travelers. A property that does not meet their expectations in terms of presentation, responsiveness or overall experience will simply be ignored in favor of another.

That is where the difference comes in.

‍

The first impression: photos and announcement

It all starts with what the traveller sees in a few seconds on a booking platform.

Dark, poorly framed or unrewarding photos, and the good is immediately discarded, regardless of its real qualities.

On the other hand, professional, bright and well-composed photos create an immediate desire. They tell about an experience before the traveller has even read a line.

‍

The importance of the announcement

Writing the announcement plays an equally important role.

A catchy title and a description that highlight the advantages of the accommodation, but also of its location:

• view of the Jura,
• proximity to the border,
• quick access to Geneva,
• proximity to ski resorts,

make all the difference in the face of a generic ad.

In the Pays de Gex, not to mention the geographical location in an ad is to miss out on one of the most powerful arguments for good.

‍

Pricing: not too high, not too low

Setting the right price is a tricky exercise.

Too high a price scares travelers away. A price that is too low generates insufficient income and can even damage the perception of the property.

‍

The key: dynamic pricing

The key lies in dynamic pricing, i.e. adjusted in real time according to:

• of the season,
• events in Geneva (fairs, conferences, international matches),
• demand on platforms,
• the availability of competing goods.

An owner who sets his rate once a year and no longer receives it leaves money on the table.

A well-priced property, at the right time, can see its occupancy rate increase significantly without even lowering its prices.

‍

Responsiveness: a factor that is often underestimated

A traveller who asks a question and doesn't get an answer within an hour will, in most cases, book elsewhere.

In a market like that of Pays de Gex, where professional profiles are numerous, booking decisions are often made quickly.

A message left unanswered for 12 or 24 hours is a lost reservation.

‍

Responsiveness that goes beyond messages

Responsiveness is not limited to initial requests.

It also includes:

• the management of contingencies,
• questions during the stay,
• post-departure follow-up.

Each of these moments contributes to traveller satisfaction and, ultimately, to their score.

‍

Reviews: the reputation that works for you

On booking platforms, reviews are the first filter used by travelers.

A property with an average of 4.9 stars and rave reviews is booked more easily, more quickly, and often at a higher price.

‍

What generates good reviews

These reviews don't come from the sky.

They are the direct result of the quality of the experience offered:

• impeccable cleanliness,
• accommodation in accordance with the photos,
• careful welcome,
• little touches that make a difference.

In the Pays de Gex, where travelers are often professionals accustomed to high standards, the customer experience is not a bonus. It is an obligation.

‍

What all this means in practice

Two similar properties can show radically different results not because one is better than the other, but because one is better managed.

For an owner who already manages his property, these levers represent a number of concrete optimization options to be explored.

For an owner who is still hesitant to start or entrust his property, they illustrate why professional rental management is not an expense: it is an investment that pays off directly on the income generated.

‍

Conclusion

The Pays de Gex offers an exceptional setting for seasonal rentals.

The demand is there, the profiles of travelers are varied and the seasonality is well balanced over the year.

But the potential of a property is not expressed alone.

It is built, optimized and maintained through:

• each photo,
• each rate,
• each message,
• each stay.

It is precisely this thorough, rigorous and constant work that explains why two identical properties can show such different performances.

And it is this work that IZIX Conciergerie puts at the service of owners in the Pays de Gex, every day.

In recent years, the issue of illegal occupation of a home has become a major concern for many homeowners. Second home, home waiting to be sold or property intended for seasonal rental: an unoccupied home can raise concerns about its protection.

French regulations have recently evolved in order to strengthen the rights of owners against squats and to simplify eviction procedures. These measures aim to better protect property rights and to secure real estate, especially in attractive and border areas.

What is a squat under the law?

We speak of squats when a home is occupied by a person without authorization from the owner and without any legal title (lease, occupancy agreement or written authorization).

It is important to distinguish between two situations:

• an unpaid tenant, who remains governed by classical rental law,
• an occupant without rights or title, who falls under the violation of home.

In the second case, it is a criminal offense. The owner has never consented to the occupation and therefore retains all of his rights to the accommodation.

Strengthening criminal sanctions

The legislation now provides for significantly heavier sanctions against illegal occupants of a home.

Introducing or maintaining a property without authorization exposes the occupant to penalties of up to:

• three years of imprisonment,
• A fine of 45,000 euros.

These sanctions also apply to persons facilitating fraudulent occupancy, for example through false rental contracts.

The objective is clearly a deterrent: the illegal occupation of a home is no longer considered as a simple civil situation, but as a direct violation of the right to own property.

An expedited expulsion procedure

The main evolution concerns the speed of intervention.

Now, when the illegal occupation is ascertained, the owner can initiate a specific administrative procedure. After filing a complaint and drawing up a file justifying the ownership of the home, a request can be sent to the prefect.

If the situation is recognized as a squat, the administrative authority may order the evacuation of the home by the police, without waiting for a classic judicial decision. This procedure makes it possible to avoid long and expensive procedures that could previously last several months.

Winter break and illegal occupation

Winter break protection does not apply to occupants without rights or titles.

Unlike tenants with a lease, a squatter can therefore be evicted at any time of the year. This precision is essential for owners of second homes or homes intended for vacation rentals, for whom prolonged occupancy would have significant financial consequences.

What to do in case of illegal occupation?

It is strongly recommended not to intervene yourself. An eviction carried out without legal procedure may result in proceedings against the owner.

Recommended steps

1. Have the illegal occupation confirmed by the police or a judicial commissioner.
2. File a home violation complaint.
3. Provide proof of ownership (title of ownership, invoices, certificates).
4. Contact the prefecture to request the administrative evacuation of the accommodation.

Depending on the situation, the judicial route may remain necessary, but the administrative procedure is now an important lever for acting quickly.

Preventing the risks of occupancy

Prevention remains one of the most effective means of protection.

Measures to be put in place

• securing accesses (adapted locks, reliable locking systems),
• regular home visits,
• visible maintenance of the property,
• regular occupancy of the home, even temporary,
• regular updating of short-term rental access devices.

Focus: seasonal rental

This last point is particularly important in vacation rentals. An access code that is unchanged over a long period of time can be an unnecessary vulnerability. The systematic rotation of codes between each stay is a simple but essential security measure.

Vacation rentals also have an advantage: a home occupied regularly, maintained and monitored is much less likely to be targeted.

Why professional management secures a property

Real estate that is left vacant for long periods of time is more vulnerable. Conversely, accommodation monitored, checked and prepared between each stay benefits from a regular presence.

The advantages of professional management

• frequent visits to the house,
• a continuous check of its condition,
• rapid detection of an abnormal situation,
• immediate reactivity.

In dynamic areas such as the Pays de Gex, where many owners live remotely, this framework provides additional security.

Conclusion

Recent regulatory developments mark a clear strengthening of homeowner protection. Penalties are more dissuasive and the expulsion procedure faster when illegal occupation is proven.

However, the best protection remains vigilance and presence around the home. A well-maintained, monitored and regularly occupied one is naturally less exposed.

Rental management and regular monitoring of housing thus contribute not only to its valuation, but also to its security.

Located at the gates of Geneva, between Lake Geneva and the Jura Mountains, the Pays de Gex is a unique territory. Both a place to live for thousands of cross-border workers, a reception area for an international clientele and a booming tourist destination, it is distinguished by a unique attractiveness in France. Its strategic location makes it a territory at the crossroads of worlds: French in terms of administration and living environment, but closely linked to Switzerland through its economic, social and cultural flows. But does this specificity really make it a promising market for short-term rentals?

‍

A market driven by neighboring Switzerland

The first factor that explains the dynamism of the Pays de Gex lies in its immediate proximity to Switzerland, and in particular to Geneva. An economic and diplomatic capital, the city attracts tens of thousands of business travelers, international civil servants and expatriates every year. It hosts more than 200 international organizations, including the United Nations Organization, the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization. This unique concentration in Europe generates a constant flow of professional and institutional stays, often of medium duration, perfectly compatible with the short-term rental offer.

In addition, there are research and innovation centers such as CERN, located directly on the Franco-Swiss border. Every year, CERN attracts thousands of researchers, engineers and trainees from all over the world. Many people, for budgetary or practical reasons, prefer accommodation in the Pays de Gex, which is more accessible than Geneva but just as close to their place of mission.

Because for many, housing directly in Geneva represents a very high cost, sometimes prohibitive, with average rents that far exceed those in the Pays de Gex. This is precisely where the territory comes into its own: just a few minutes from the border, it offers a more affordable alternative, while remaining perfectly connected to Switzerland thanks to roads, cross-border buses and soon to the Léman Express, which will soon reinforce the mobility of the region.

‍

A varied and loyal clientele

The profile of travelers who choose the Pays de Gex is particularly diverse. First of all, there is a high proportion of professionals on mission, whether they are researchers at CERN, collaborators of international institutions or consultants who have come to work on projects in Geneva. These stays can last a few days, but often last several weeks or even several months, which is perfect for short-term rentals, which is more flexible than a traditional lease and more economical than a hotel.

The region is also attracting a growing tourist clientele. In winter, short breaks to enjoy the Jura slopes are a real success. Resorts such as Crozet, Lélex or Mijoux, accessible in less than 30 minutes from the main towns, welcome family and international customers looking for a more intimate stay than in the big Alpine resorts. In summer, hikers, cyclists and paragliding enthusiasts flock to enjoy preserved landscapes, between valleys, forests and ridges of the Jura. And above all, the exceptional location of the Pays de Gex allows access to the Alps in less than two hours by car, opening the door to the emblematic resorts of Haute-Savoie and Savoie such as Chamonix, Megève or Les Gets. This further broadens the spectrum of potential travelers, seduced by a base close to Geneva, Lake Geneva and the Alpine mountains at the same time.

Finally, another growing category of travelers stands out: cross-border workers. Single or young couples, many of them come to settle in the region without having a permanent contract in their pocket, which greatly complicates their search for long-term housing. The traditional rental market in the Pays de Gex is indeed one of the tightest in France: rents are among the most expensive outside Paris, very low vacancy rate, strong competition between applicants. Faced with this extremely high rental demand, short-term rentals become a flexible solution for them, which allows them to settle in the region while they find a stable job or sustainable housing.

‍

A territory that is still under-exploited

Unlike cities like Paris, Lyon or Marseille, the Pays de Gex is not yet suffering from a saturation of the Airbnb market. Competition does exist, of course, but it is still more measured, leaving room for new players. For owners, this means that the potential for profitability is real, especially in strategic areas such as Ferney-Voltaire, Saint-Genis-Pouilly or Divonne-les-Bains, which combine proximity to Geneva and local attractiveness.

In Ferney-Voltaire, demand is driven by the direct proximity to Geneva and the international airport. For its part, Saint-Genis-Pouilly benefits from its location at the gateway to CERN and its growing economic dynamism. Finally, Divonne-les-Bains attracts a more tourist and upscale clientele thanks to its casino, golf and famous thermal baths. These micro-markets, although different in their dynamics, share the same characteristic: an offer that still falls short of real demand, thus opening up interesting prospects for owners wishing to invest in short-term rentals.

This relative under-exploitation of the market is reinforced by the high standard of living in the region. The proximity to Geneva attracts a population with high purchasing power, accustomed to high standards of comfort. Many travelers, whether cross-border commuters, vacationers or professionals, are therefore looking for comfortable, well-equipped and ideally located accommodations. The short-term rental offer, when it is well managed and meets the expectations of this demanding clientele, is therefore easy to find buyers and differentiates itself advantageously from the traditional hotel industry.

‍

Points of vigilance not to be overlooked

However, the dynamism of the market does not mean that it is free of constraints. As elsewhere in France, short-term rentals are subject to administrative rules that must be respected, even if they are often less strict than in big cities. For example, some municipalities require registration at the town hall or limit the number of annual nights for a main residence. Local regulations can change quickly, and it is essential for owners to stay informed in order to avoid penalties.

Many owners are still hesitant to start, fearing that they will not reach a sufficient occupancy rate to exceed long-term rental income, which is already extremely high in the region. It is true that traditional rents in the Pays de Gex are among the most expensive in France outside the Paris region, but the reality on the ground is nevertheless encouraging: owners who entrust the management of their property to professionals see on average between 30 and 50% in additional income compared to a traditional rental, with occupancy rates that range between 70 and 80%. These figures demonstrate that with an adapted strategy and rigorous management, short-term rentals can become a particularly solid and sustainable source of profitability.

Finally, customer requirements should not be underestimated. The Pays de Gex welcomes international travelers, who are often used to high hotel standards. This means that reactivity in exchanges, the irreproachable cleanliness of the accommodations and the flexibility of arrivals and departures are not simple assets, but essential conditions. To meet these expectations, delegating to a professional concierge remains the best solution, guaranteeing consistent service, a positive customer experience and optimized profitability over the long term.

‍

One answer: yes, short-term rentals work in the Pays de Gex

In view of all these elements, the answer is clear: short-term rentals are not only possible in the Pays de Gex, it is particularly relevant there. The exceptional attractiveness of the territory, supported by Switzerland, international organizations, international organizations, CERN, ski resorts and the quality of life, creates a constant and varied demand, both from professionals and from vacationers.

While the market remains demanding and requires rigorous management, it offers a real opportunity for owners in return. By relying on a local concierge and by adapting to the specificities of customers, it is possible to transform a home into a regular and sustainable source of income.

In summary, short-term rentals do indeed work in the Pays de Gex. It is even an ideal solution for valuing real estate in a region with international influence and growing tourist attractiveness.

In 2025, furnished rentals are one of the most popular investments for individuals wishing to build up a wealth while generating income. More flexible and more profitable than bare renting, it allows you to benefit from considerable tax advantages, provided you master the different statuses and tax regimes. Between the status of Non-Professional Furnished Rental Company (LMNP) or Professional (LMP), and micro-BIC or real regimes, the choice of taxation can have a decisive impact on the net profitability of your investment. This article guides you clearly and comprehensively to understand the issues and make the right choices.

‍

LMNP or LMP: two statuses to supervise your activity

The status LMNP (Non-Professional Furnished Rental) is the most frequently used by individuals. It concerns landlords who receive less than 23,000 euros in annual revenue from furnished rentals, or whose income is lower than the other income from the tax household (salaries, BIC, etc.). The LMNP status offers great management flexibility, reduced taxation, and above all the possibility of opting for the real regime in order to benefit from the depreciation of the property.

‍

The status LMP (Professional Furnished Rental Company), for its part, is aimed at lessors whose furnished rental income exceeds 23,000 euros per year and exceeds all other business income. It is therefore a professional activity, which involves more stringent social and fiscal obligations, but opens the way to certain advantages, in particular the possibility of imputing deficits to total income, and under certain conditions, to be exempt from tax on capital gain upon resale.

‍

Micro-BIC or real: choosing the most advantageous tax regime

The Micro-Bic diet is a simplified regime applicable automatically if revenue does not exceed certain thresholds: 77,700 euros for a classic furnished rental, 15,000 euros for unclassified furnished tourist accommodation, and up to 188,700 euros for classified furnished apartments or guest rooms. It provides for a lump-sum reduction on revenue: 50% for classic furnished furniture, 30% for unclassified furniture, and 50% for classified furniture. This regime is simple but not very optimized, as no real load can be deduced.

‍

On the other hand, the Real regime allows you to deduct all real expenses: loan interest, notary fees, notary fees, works, insurance, condominium fees, as well as the depreciation of real estate and furniture. This depreciation greatly reduces, or even eliminates, the tax result, which often makes it possible not to pay taxes for several years. The real regime is particularly suitable for investors with a mortgage or significant expenses.

‍

Social security contributions and deductions: what are the impacts on your income?

In LMNP, net income is subject to social security contributions up to 17.2%. However, you are not liable for URSSAF social security contributions, unless you exercise the activity professionally and are registered as such.

‍

In LMP, the lessor is affiliated to URSSAF and must pay social security contributions on the profit made, at a rate of between 35% and 45%. In return, this income is not subject to social security contributions at 17.2%. It is therefore essential to compare the total social security contributions according to the system chosen.

‍

Real estate capital gains: LMNP or LMP regime?

Until 2024, LMNP investors could depreciate their property each year to reduce their tax base, without these depreciations being reinstated during the resale. This allowed for extremely advantageous taxation, as the capital gain was calculated only on the difference between the sale price and the purchase price, depreciation not taken into account.

‍

Since the 2025 finance law, this fiscal niche has been Deleted. From now on, the amortization applied must be reintegrated into the calculation of capital gain. This means that the tax base is increasing, which leads to an increase in resale taxation. For example, a property purchased 200,000 euros, amortized to the tune of 100,000 euros and sold for 300,000 euros, will be considered for tax purposes as having been acquired 100,000 euros, thus generating a taxable capital gain of 200,000 euros.

‍

In LMP, depreciation had already been reinstated for several years. An exemption is still possible if the lessor has been active for more than 5 years and if his income does not exceed 90,000 euros per year.

‍

VAT and CFE: additional obligations

Furnished rentals are, with some exceptions, not subject to VAT. VAT becomes applicable if the rental company offers at least three para-hotel services: reception, daily cleaning, linen supply, breakfast. In the majority of cases, furnished renters therefore avoid this obligation.

On the other hand, the CFE (Contribution Foncière des Entreprises) is due by all furnished renters, from the first year of activity. The amount varies according to the municipality, but is generally between 200 euros and 800 euros per year.

‍

Conclusion

The 2025 reform marks a turning point for the taxation of furnished rentals. The LMNP status, long considered a tax haven, is seeing its attractiveness reduced due to the reintegration of depreciation into capital gain. However, it is still interesting if the objective is to generate regular income. The choice between LMNP, LMP, micro-BIC or real must be carefully considered, depending on the investment strategy, the volume of expenses and the resale horizon. It is strongly recommended to carry out accurate simulations with a professional to adjust your taxation to your wealth objectives.

La Le Meur law, promulgated on November 19, 2024, aims to strengthen the tools for regulating furnished tourist accommodation at the local level. Faced with the rise of short-term rentals via platforms such as Airbnb, this law introduces measures to regulate this practice and preserve the supply of housing intended for primary residence.

‍

Main provisions of the Le Meur Act:

Mandatory declaration at the town hall

As of January 1, 2025, all owners offering furnished tourist accommodation, whether it is their main or secondary residence, must file a declaration at the town hall. This procedure aims to ensure better traceability of tourist rentals.

‍

Limitation of the rental period of main residences

Municipalities now have the option of reducing the maximum rental period for main residences from 120 days to 90 days per year. This measure allows municipalities to better control the use of housing on their territory.

‍

Restrictive zoning

Municipalities can define areas reserved exclusively for main residences in their local urban plan, thus prohibiting furnished tourist rentals in these areas. This provision is aimed at maintaining permanent habitat in certain urban areas.

‍

Suspension in case of unsanitary conditions

In the event of a finding of unsanitary conditions, the town hall may suspend the authorization to rent the furnished tourist accommodation concerned, thus guaranteeing decent housing conditions for the occupants.

‍

Energy performance requirements

The Energy Performance Diagnosis (DPE) is becoming mandatory for furnished tourist accommodation. Housing classified E, F or G will gradually be banned for tourist rentals, requiring owners to carry out renovations to comply with energy standards.

‍

Tax changes

The law changes the tax allowances for furnished tourist rentals. For classified properties, the allowance increases to 50% with a ceiling of €77,700 in annual rental income. For unclassified goods, the reduction is 30% with a ceiling of €15,000. These new rates will apply to rental income received as of January 1, 2025.

‍

Implications for condominiums

Modification of the condominium regulations

Condominium regulations established after November 21, 2024 must explicitly mention the authorization or prohibition of the rental of furnished tourist accommodation. For previous regulations, the general meeting of co-owners may decide to prohibit this practice by a two-thirds majority, thus simplifying the procedure that previously required unanimity.

‍

Obligation to inform the trustee

Any co-owner or tenant offering their lot as a furnished tourist accommodation must inform the trustee as soon as the rental is the subject of a declaration or registration. This measure reinforces transparency within condominiums.

‍

Distinction with long-term furnished rentals

It is important to note that some restrictions in the Le Meur Law do not apply to long-term furnished rentals. For example, rental period limitations and certain reporting obligations relate specifically to short-term rentals for tourism purposes. In addition, the allowances and revenue ceilings under the micro-BIC regime remain unchanged. Furnished rentals used as a main residence over a long period of time are not subject to these same restrictions.

‍

Penalties for non-compliance

Failure to comply with the obligations imposed by the Le Meur Law may result in sanctions, including administrative fines of up to €5,000 per unit concerned. Controls will be strengthened to ensure compliance with regulations.

‍

Conclusion on the Lemeur Act

The Le Meur Law marks a major turning point in the regulation of furnished tourist rentals in France. Faced with the explosion of short-term rentals via platforms such as Airbnb, the legislator wanted to regain control locally to maintain the balance of real estate markets, especially in tense areas where rental tension deprives residents of accessible housing.

Thanks to this law, local authorities now have reinforced tools: reduction of the maximum rental period, creation of areas reserved for permanent housing, a ban in case of unsanitary conditions, and the possibility for condominiums to prohibit furnished tourist accommodation by a two-thirds majority. At the same time, the advantageous fiscal niche for furnished tourist accommodation is reduced, restoring a certain degree of tax equity between the different types of rentals.

It is important to note that the Le Meur Law does not target long-term furnished rentals, which maintain their current tax regimes and remain unaffected by the new constraints. Owners must therefore clearly distinguish their rental method in order to apply the right regulations and optimize the profitability of their property legally.

For investors, this law implies more rigor but also offers more clarity. By relying on specialized rental management or concierge services, it is possible to remain in compliance while maximizing income. More than ever, the management of furnished tourist accommodation is becoming an activity to be professionalized, and knowledge of fiscal and legal rules is becoming a strategic lever for renting effectively, sustainably... and without surprise.
