Question 29643 — housing

Summary

Mr. Hugues Renson questions the Minister to the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, responsible for cities and housing, on the situation of rental of furnished tourist accommodation in France, and particularly in Paris. Indeed, in recent years, the rental of furnished tourist accommodation has greatly developed in Paris, which could represent as much an opportunity as a problem. These furnished contribute to the tourist attractiveness of Paris and allow residents to supplement their income, but if it is not controlled, their development could be to the detriment of the middle and working classes, by removing housing from the market. For this control to be carried out on the basis of objective elements, a detailed statement of the situation must be available. Decree No. 2019-1104 of October 30, 2019 taken in application of the Articles L. 324-1-1 and L. 324-2-1 of the Tourism Code and relating to requests for information that can be sent by municipalities to intermediaries for the rental of furnished tourist accommodation makes it possible to improve this control system for the rental of furnished tourist accommodation. However, in Paris, it is difficult to properly measure the reality of the phenomenon, while the City indicates that 60,000 housing units would escape traditional rental, including 30,000 rented for the year and therefore in an illegal situation, while Airbnb, in its statement of statistics for 2019, estimates that 65,000 accommodations were rented in 2019, including only 4,100 accommodations rented for more than 120 days. While the tourism sector is hit hard by the health crisis, small owners, who have for example invested in an apartment in the city center, which they finance through tourist rentals, are severely affected by the cessation of rentals. He therefore asks whether, so that this sector can relaunch on objective and consensual bases, the Government intends to carry out an impact study on the rental of furnished tourist accommodation in Paris in order to measure its impact on housing in Paris, to evaluate the regulatory and legislative measures and, if necessary, adapt them, in accordance with European law.
