The figure of \u20ac23,000 does not condition <strong>no reduction<\/strong>. It is used to determine the status of <a href=\"https:\/\/bofip.impots.gouv.fr\/bofip\/3615-PGP.html\/identifiant=BOI-BIC-CHAMP-40-10-20260415\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">professional furnished rental landlord<\/a>, which assumes <strong>two cumulative conditions<\/strong>rental income exceeding \u20ac23,000 per year <em>and<\/em> higher than the other earned income of the tax household.

Assessment is done at the household level, across all its furnished rentals, and the former condition of registration in the trade register no longer exists.<\/p><p>This threshold has another consequence, however, which is rarely mentioned: beyond \u20ac23,000 in short-term rental revenue, affiliation with the self-employed social security system becomes mandatory. Below that, the income supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.service-public.gouv.fr\/particuliers\/vosdroits\/F2329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social security contributions at 18.6 %<\/a> starting from the 2025 income.

A standard residential lease commits the landlord for several years, with a tenant who has a right to remain in the premises and strictly regulated notice periods. In seasonal rental, none of this: the stay has an end date, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.service-public.gouv.fr\/particuliers\/vosdroits\/F2043\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it cannot exceed 90 consecutive days for the same customer<\/a>, and the property becomes yours again between two bookings.<\/p><p>Specifically, you block the dates you want on the calendar, rent out the rest of the time, and take back your property for a sale, renovation work, or personal use without having to give notice. For a second home occupied a few weeks a year, this is the difference between an idle asset and a working asset.<\/p><p>Two limits temper this freedom. If the home is your primary residence, renting is capped at 120 days per year, and municipalities can now lower this cap to 90 days by a reasoned deliberation. And since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legifrance.gouv.fr\/codes\/article_lc\/LEGIARTI000050623378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May 20, 2026<\/a>, every furnished holiday rental must be registered, regardless of the municipality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f411cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f411cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The yield: what can be said, and what cannot<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f610657 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f610657\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You will read promises of quantified profitability everywhere. They mean nothing out of context: the yield depends on the location, size, condition of the property, seasonality, and actual occupancy rate. No reliable source allows for a percentage that works for everyone, and we prefer not to invent one.<\/p><p>What can be said is more useful. First, short-term rentals generate higher gross income than a traditional lease for the same well-located property: our comparative analysis with figures <a href=\"https:\/\/hellorivierastay.com\/en\/vacation-rental-or-long-term-rental-in-nice-which-one-is-more-profitable\/\">between short-term and long-term rental in Nice<\/a> put the two columns side by side, with real figures. Then, the risk of non-payment is practically zero, since the stay is paid for before arrival through the platform. Finally, this gross income incurs expenses that a traditional lease ignores: commissions, cleaning, linen, consumables, maintenance. This is the reason why an honest comparison is always done in net terms, never in gross.<\/p><p>The local context, on the other hand, is measurable. The Alpes-Maritimes concentrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insee.fr\/fr\/statistiques\/8676183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">22 % of the region's tourist overnight stays<\/a> during the summer season, with a majority foreign clientele in the hotel industry.
