Housing: how furnished rentals have become the expensive engine of long-term leasing

A recent study by ANIL highlights the growth of furnished long-term rentals in France, which has more than doubled from 2006 to 2022. This increase raises concerns about the impact on the rental market, particularly in urban areas where furnished rentals account for a significant portion of long-term leases. The study suggests that in regions like the Alps and coastal areas, these properties often switch between seasonal tourist rentals and primary residences throughout the year. This information is particularly relevant to ongoing discussions in the National Assembly regarding the 2027 budget and potential changes to taxation on non-professional furnished rentals.
