EU Supreme Court rules AirBnB are NOT an Estate agent and will not require a license to operate in France.
The French Tourist association had filed a complaint that AirBnB did not comply with French property law.
Had this ruling gone against AirBnB then this would have set a President for the operator in all European Countries.
This comes on top of a €14m fine imposed on the company for publishing 1,000 illegal rental adverts in Paris.
These charges at Airbnb came into existence because they violated French Law. Under French law, “Homeowners can rent their places for a short term of 120 days per year and advertisements for rent should have a registration number to ensure properties are not rented for a longer time.”
France passed a law in 2018 which puts fines of 12,500 Euros per illegal posting on rental companies like Airbnb for violating it.
