Renting your furnished property for short term periods is a decision not to be taken lightly. Indeed, in order to be rented on a regular basis, your apartment will have to respect a certain number of criteria both to comply with the rules and to correspond to the quality standards that we wish to propose to the customers of GLAMAPARIS.

- the prohibition of renting a second home for short periods of time,
- the limitation to 120 nights per year of the rental of one’s main residence,
- the registration of one’s accommodation at the Paris City Hall with a registration number.

How to equip a furnished apartment?
In order for your apartment to be considered furnished, it must have a certain number of elements defined by law. Decree 2015-981 of July 31, 2015 lists these various items of equipment considered essential.
