FrançaisOur property is registered under the Residences de Tourisme regime. When we bought it we were under the impression that it was to be let to tourists. It has turned out that it is being let to students. Our solicitor advised us at the time that this residence had to be marketed to tourists abroad in order to comply with "Residences de Tourisme". If the company failed to market it abroad, then the VAT would have to be repaid. We were also told that certain services had to be provided, such as breakfasts, laundry facilities etc. Our residence is certainly not offering breakfasts. Does anyone know what the rules are or where I can find them?
Have been informed by an avocat that there’s been a recent legal case relating to student accommodation and its compliance with Residences de Tourisme that modified the law. It now covers temporary stays as well as tourism providing the residence meets 4 out of 5 criteria: Cleaning, a ‘front desk’ , Laundry, Linen and Breakfast.
