errors that the owners continue to pay very dearly

Declared in LMNP to earn more, forgotten in the secondary residence to avoid the tax on housing construction, too equipped to seduce on Airbnb … the furnished rental attracts as much as the traps. If you are the owner, every decision can cost you – legally, legally, even on heritage. Here are the most frequent failures and how to avoid them to preserve the margins.

Taxation perceived as advantageous … but scarcely controlled

Many owners choose LMNP status to amortize their properties, deduce their expenses and reduce their taxation. On paper, it seems optimal.

But an error of declaration or an oblivion, such as non-compliance with the thresholds or poor can-depreciation ventilation, cause a painful tax adjustment. The tax administration monitors and controls are multiplying.

Paradoxically, the more advantageous the royal diet is, the more it requires accounting rigor. Obligation to monitor loads or too generous closets on the furniture and all your strategy is collapsing.

Poorly linked furnished leasing: a time bomb

A furnished rental contract is not written slightly. Many owners recycle the imprecise models found on the Internet.

Result: a lease that does not comply with the law (in particular Alur's law), with illegal clauses or critical oversights such as inventory or deposit.

A well -informed tenant cannot only contest the contract, but also to obtain damage. Not to mention the fact that the judge can reclassify the rental … in empty lease.

Airbnb: quick profitability, blurred legality

Many believe that transforming an apartment into a tourist furnishings furnished on Airbnb is the game for children. But in the main cities such as Paris, Bordeaux or Nice, an authorization for the use of change is often mandatory.

Do not bend you, there is to expose yourself to a fine of several tens of thousands of euros. Even the riflete of the tax on residence are frequent.

Some municipalities have already started a judicial procedure against private owners. Short -term rental, without a solid picture, becomes a serious risk.

Equipment for homes: pay attention to the useless escalation

The furniture is not to transform your property into a showroom. However, many donors invest a lot in decoration and equipment.

However, this excessive investor is rarely profitable. The tenant is looking for a functional picture, not a series of hotels. Excessive expenses do not increase the limited rent or the rental time.

Worse again: they evaluate the expenses … without offering a real return on investments. A design table has never cushioned a month of vacant for rent.

The trap for vacant places … that little early

A furnished rental often becomes faster than naked accommodation. But this dynamism is also his Achille heel.

Each vacant place reduces the tax advantage to nothing. However, many donors overestimate the local demand. In Lille, Limoges or corners, too large an offer can lead to a sudden drop in rents … and weeks without a tenant.

Empty accommodation is a network that stopped the network. It is greater pressure to reduce the rent or cut the quality of the tenant.

Change strategy without anticipating the consequences

Switch from a furnished classic furnished to a tourist rental, resell a furnished property or living there: these decisions seem simple. However, they sometimes trigger explosive tax consequences.

A scarcely expected LMNP diet can generate amortization amortization. A resale without respecting the detention period and the tax on capital gains explodes.

The administration does not forget anything. Each change of use or status must be anticipated with a professional.

Sometimes irreversible management errors

A lease contract ended too quickly, a guarantee deposit not returned in time, an increase in illegal rent … These defects, often committed by ignorance, can be expensive.

Rental management in furnishings requires regular monitoring, a legal clock and often aid external. Those who delegate half are quickly overcome.

Even a detail such as the low invoicing of the house removal tax can be sufficient to create a dispute with the tenant.

What I remember after dozens of analyzed cases

The key points that seem important to me to remember? The furnished rental is not an automatic Eldorado. It is a complex diet, both attractive and demanding. Those who are successful are those who professionalize their management, who continually learn and who know how to say no to the «good floors» put together.

Do not leave a module error or a written clause that is scarcely ruined the performance. Surrounded, check your situation and above all: treat your furnishings furnished as a real deal.

Have you suffered a rental error provided? A reclassification, a recovery, a dispute? Share your experience, ask your questions or ask for a personalized decryption: the other owners will thank you.
