a developer prohibits its future owners from renting their apartment to tourists
Do you know the rental of short-term tourist accommodation? It can be found on sites like Airbnb or Abritel. Particularly affected by this phenomenon, the Annecy conurbation has more than 4,400 furnished tourist accommodation, including more than 3,000 in Annecy.
Helping old employees
As this supply grows, more and more high savoyard savoyards find it difficult to find accommodation. “Even though tourism platforms like Airbnb have tightened their rules under pressure from the government, we still have to regulate this flow of accommodation” indicates Frédéric Lardet the president of Grand Annecy.
“We still have to regulate this flow of tourist accommodation” (Frédéric Lardet, president of Greater Annecy)
To counter this trend, Benjamin Combey, managing director of Primalp, a property developer in Annecy, seems to have found the solution. In the fifty or so housing units integrated by 2025 in the heart of Annecy, the condominium regulations prohibit short-term tourist rentals. ” This measure will allow people who work here to live year-round he explains. The lack of housing was often cited by companies to explain the difficulties of recruitment, according to him.
A growing trend
The general manager of Primalp intends to apply this new clause on other real estate projects, this concerns “150 homes per year” in Haute-Savoie, properties located outside ski resorts. ” We avoid doing it in the resort because it remains complicated to prohibit owners who pay very expensive apartments from putting them up for rent. “. Even if he does not know any at the moment, the Haut-Savoyard hopes that his initiative will be taken up by some of his colleagues.
