Since January 26, 2022, Airbnb has finally complied with the law in Biarritz (Pyrénées-Atlantiques).

This requires that renters of entire furnished apartments register with the municipality and obtain a number.

Without the latter, it is impossible to rent “entire accommodation for short-term stays” explained the rental platform via a press release.

An announcement three have been suppressed based on Alda association, which fights against the housing crisis in the Basque Country, reported

.

The city had threatened to sue Airbnb to court if she did not put in conformity.

Other municipalities concerned

From now on, the platform also provides the municipality with files on furnished apartments and their owners, and gives the possibility of deactivating fraudulent advertisements as well as several statistics.

A letter had been sent at the end of 2021 to the owners to inform them that they had to register at the town hall to continue their activity.

Applications for recording would explode since.

These measures should soon apply to other towns in the Basque Country urban community.
