You own a property and you want to rent it in seasonal? Here is a reminder of what you need to know about your rights and obligations in terms of lease, tax, administrative authorization etc.
Declare at the town hall your intention to rent in seasonal
Whatever the location of the property, it is strongly recommended to get closer to your town hall to inform the administration of your willingness to rent seasonal. Why? You will thus know the necessary steps and the necessary authorizations according to the geographical zone in which your property is located.

Provide a description of the property and its environment
It is highly advisable to provide the holidaymaker with a description of your house or apartment before he makes his reservation. This document must answer all the questions concerning the type of construction, situation of the property, a detailed description of the interior of the housing - for each room you will specify its general state, its equipment...
