Period, purpose — you decide whether to pre-approve requests.
Profile review and acceptance (or not) of the rental request
Move-in inventory and deposit handover. You receive the first rent payment.
Mila, our partner insurer:
• Guarantees payment of your rent within 48h from the 1st month of unpaid rent, under the terms and limits of the guarantee contract.
• Handles all legal proceedings related to unpaid rent and their costs against tenants
• Reimburses legal fees and support for disputes related to your property (works, subletting, neighbor issues)
• Reimburses tenant-caused property damage
Every request pre-approved by the owner is forwarded to our partner insurer Mila, who reviews the strength and authenticity of the application within an indicative timeframe of 6 business hours. The final decision to accept or decline the tenant remains with the owner.
Yes.
Insuring the property and its letting is the owner’s responsibility.
Before publishing your listing, check with your insurer that your policy does cover letting your furnished property — this is not automatic, and most standard policies exclude it.
If it does not, you can take out dedicated cover (non-occupying owner policy plus options) with our insurance partner, without leaving the platform. Taking this out is optional and entirely the owner’s decision.
LesVacantes is registered with ORIAS under no. 26009435 as an Insurance Intermediary’s Agent (MIA) — see our legal notice.
Yes.
A security deposit equivalent to one month's rent may be requested from the tenant upon move-in. It will be paid when the keys are handed over directly to the owner using a method agreed between the parties (check, bank transfer, or other).
Yes.
Rental income from furnished lettings (even temporary) is taxable under BIC – Bénéfices Industriels et Commerciaux (industrial and commercial profits).
You have two possible tax regimes:
Micro-BIC :
→ flat-rate allowance of 50% on rent
→ simple and often sufficient
Régime réel (actual expenses regime) :
→ deduction of actual expenses (interest, insurance, property tax, depreciation…)
→ useful if you have significant expenses
Not necessarily.
Rentals arranged through the platform are based on a template civil lease for a property that is not a main residence, or a bail mobilité for a main residence let temporarily over the medium term (1 to 10 months) — legally distinct from a seasonal rental falling under the furnished tourist accommodation regime. This lease template was drafted by a lawyer; adapting and signing it is a matter for the parties.
You are therefore not within the scope of a typical short-term tourist rental.
That said:
some municipalities may require a prior declaration
in high-demand areas, local rules may apply
We provide general information on declaration requirements by municipality. For your specific situation, please check with your town hall or an advisor.
Note that standard furnished rental is exempt from VAT and social contributions as long as your activity remains non-professional.
The platform’s service fees and the bank charges for automated, secure rent processing (12% + 3% incl. VAT) are a deductible operating expense under the actual expenses regime.
It depends on the municipality.
For a property that is not a main residence, let temporarily under a civil lease:
declaration is not always required
the rules differ from short-term tourist rentals
An information sheet by department is available to you.
Yes. Via our payment partner Stripe, you have access to a dashboard summarizing the rent you have received, downloadable at year-end, along with the details of service fees and the insurance taken out through Mila.
