Question 2065 — housing

Summary

Mr. Loïc Prud'homme draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion to the problematic development of online housing rental platforms. These platforms are experiencing exponential growth, particularly in so-called “attractive” metropolises. In Bordeaux, according to the latest figures from the Airbnb Observatory, the number of offers increased by 62.5% in 6 months, from March to September 2017. This increase makes following a series of equally spectacular increases: + 200% in 2014, + 100% in 2015 and 2016. Of the 150,000 housing units in the city of Bordeaux, 10,700 are offered on the platform. This constitutes enormous upward pressure on rents and contributes to Bordeaux becoming the second most expensive city in France behind Paris. It is also second, just behind the capital, for the number of rentals Airbnb. Real estate agencies are also seeing a drop of 10% to 20% in their rental activity this year. Under these conditions, the first exposed are the most precarious households. In fact, 7 out of 10 properties offered on Airbnb are small spaces, type T1 or T2, especially sought after by students, young workers or single parents. The city of Bordeaux has announced its desire to regulate this practice. THE Individuals who rent their property on online platforms must declare themselves to the municipality and cannot exceed 120 days of rental per year. This measure is already in force in Paris and has had very little effect, since the offer on Airbnb increased by 53% in 2017. He asks him what measures he intends to take to strictly regulate this practice, prevent unscrupulous investors from devoting themselves to it and, more generally, to stem the explosion of rents in certain large metropolises.
