French landlords who rent out properties on a short-term basis, such as through platforms like Airbnb, have voiced concerns over potential tax changes outlined in the 2027 budget. These changes could increase their annual tax burden by up to 13,000 euros. Five long-term short-term rental landlords shared their frustrations with Le Figaro, expressing a feeling of being unfairly targeted by the new fiscal policy. They also expressed regret over having chosen the LMNP (Loueur en Meublé Non Professionnel) tax regime, which is designed for non-professional landlords who rent out furnished properties. The proposed tax measure was initially part of the budget but was later removed by the Finance Committee of the National Assembly through an amendment proposed by former Housing Minister Guillaume Kasbarian. This amendment aimed to address concerns from short-term rental landlords who argued that the tax burden was too high and not in line with the nature of their business. However, negotiations with left-wing parties to finalize the finance law for the five-year term have not yet started, and the final decision will depend on the votes cast during the session. The landlords emphasized their dissatisfaction, feeling that the policy unfairly targets them compared to other property owners. One landlord stated they would have preferred to purchase their primary residence had they been aware of the potential tax implications. Their concerns highlight the ongoing debate over how to balance tax fairness with the realities of the short-term rental market in France. The removal of the proposed tax change by the Finance Committee shows that there is some sensitivity to the concerns of short-term rental landlords. However, with the final finance law still pending and negotiations with left-wing parties yet to begin, the future of the LMNP regime and the tax burden for short-term rental landlords remains uncertain. The outcome will ultimately depend on the political discussions and decisions made during the upcoming session.
