Why co-ownership is the real issue here
Villeneuve-Loubet has a particularity: its waterfront rental property is concentrated in large complexes. The Marina Baie des Anges It alone comprises about 1,600 apartments, in addition to the residences on the seafront and the hinterland.
In this type of configuration, the issue of short-term rental becomes a neighborhood issue before it becomes a urban planning issue. The traffic, the use of the swimming pool, the noise in the evening, the parking space: all of these are discussed in the general assembly, not at the town hall.
The 2024 law enacted this move. It not only strengthens the powers of communes; it also gives co-owners tools they did not have before.
What the law requires you to do vis-à-vis the syndic
Inform. When a property is declared for tourist use, the co-owner, or their authorized tenant, must inform the syndic. This is not a request for permission; it is an obligation of transparency.
Moving on to the agenda. The syndic then puts on the agenda of the next general assembly a point of information on the activity of tourism rental in the condominium. In other words, your activity will be discussed in front of your neighbors.
Check your regulations. Co-ownership regulations established since November 21, 2024 must explicitly mention whether short-term rental is permitted or prohibited. Older co-ownerships are urged to update their regulations in this regard.
Can a condominium prohibit you from renting out your property?
Yes, and that is a point that many owners discover too late. A general assembly can vote to ban short-term rentals for lots that are not primary residences, with a majority of members representing two-thirds of the votes.
To this are added the clauses already present in many old regulations, notably those reserving the building for exclusive residential use. Such a clause may be sufficient to condemn a short-term rental activity, without requiring a vote.
The first step to take is therefore simple and precedes everything else: ask for the updated condominium rules and have them read to you, or have them read them to you, before buying furniture or taking photos.
