Riviera Hosting › Guaranteed rent
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.
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 |
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.
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.
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.
Nothing changes for you: the rent is due every month whatever the occupancy. The vacancy risk is ours.
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.
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.
