Riviera Hosting › Guaranteed rent

Guaranteed rent: a company as your tenant, a fixed rent every month

Riviera Hosting becomes the tenant of your apartment under a three-year lease in the company's name. We furnish, equip and maintain it at our expense, and let it to professionals on assignment and travellers, for short and medium stays. You receive the same rent every month, whether the flat is occupied or not.

Why a company rather than a regular tenant

A regular French lease protects the tenant first, and rightly so: it is their home. With Riviera Hosting, your tenant is a business renting to carry out its activity. What that changes for you:

	Regular tenant	Riviera Hosting
The tenant	A private individual, for whom it is the main home	A company, renting to house its guests
The legal frame	French 1989 tenancy law, designed to protect the tenant	Civil Code lease: term, rent and exit conditions set in the contract
The rent	Paid while the tenant is there, then vacancy between tenants	The same every month for the whole lease, occupied or not
Between tenants	Searching, viewings, files, agency fees	Nothing to do: no vacancy during the lease
If rent goes unpaid	Court procedure lasting months, possible payment delays, no eviction during the winter truce	Termination provided in the lease, and no resident living in your flat
Furniture and upkeep	Up to you if you let furnished; repairs when they leave	Furnished, equipped and maintained at our expense, professional cleaning after each stay
Follow-up	A tenant you meet at check-in and check-out	A single contact, regular checks of the flat

Who stays in your flat

Professionals on assignment (building sites, Sophia Antipolis companies, Cannes trade shows), consultants and travellers, for a few nights to a few months. Every stay is managed: verified identity, house rules, respect for the neighbours, professional cleaning at each departure. The flat is never anyone's main home.

We already do it. Our studio in Mandelieu-la-Napoule has worked this way since spring 2026: Riviera Hosting is the tenant, pays a fixed rent every month, and the studio has been booked 75% of nights since April.

Frequently asked questions

How does guaranteed rent work?

Riviera Hosting, a French company, becomes the tenant of your apartment under a three-year lease governed by the Civil Code. We furnish, equip and maintain it at our expense, and let it to professionals on assignment and travellers, for short and medium stays. You receive the same rent every month, whether the flat is occupied or not.

How much rent can you pay?

It depends on the address, size, condition and town. After a free visit we make a written offer based on the income actually observed in your town. Guaranteed rent is a little below the co-hosting potential, in exchange for a fixed income and no management at all.

What happens if the flat is empty?

Nothing changes for you: the rent is due every month whatever the occupancy. The vacancy risk is ours.

And if Riviera Hosting stopped paying?

The lease provides for termination in case of non-payment. And because the flat is only occupied for short and medium stays, never by a long-term resident, there is no occupant to remove to get your property back.

Can my apartment be let this way?

Your building rules and the town must allow it: co-ownership rules, and a change-of-use permit where required (in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, for example). We check everything before signing, and the permission to sublet is written into the lease.

This information is not legal advice: the lease sets out each party's rights and obligations. How to declare the rent for tax depends on your situation; your accountant will tell you.
