Why choose the mobility lease for your Airbnb rental
Airbnb rental is gradually becoming the preferred method for vacationers and traveling workers to find accommodation at a lower cost. Investing in Airbnb rental is highly appreciated by individuals and professionals who see a gold mine in working through online booking platforms such as Airbnb or Booking. But the problem of seasonal rentals remains cyclical. How to benefit from annual income by renting only during school periods? Well-located accommodation during the tourist season can earn you a lot of money for a short period of time. But have you thought about making your rental profitable during the calmer periods of the year? The mobility lease is an accessible way for investors to increase the occupancy rate of their apartment over longer periods. Our concierge in Labenne explains how it works and how to make the most of this opportunity.
What is the Mobility Bail
The ELAN law (Evolution of Housing, Development and Digital) of 2018 aims to simplify access to housing for employees and students through a new mode of rental structured by the Bail Mobilité. This is a temporary rental contract for furnished accommodation. The duration of the contract can vary between 1 month and 10 months maximum.
The mobility lease is set up for tenants with a specific profile. It aims to facilitate access to rental for workers on the move (vocational training, replacements) and students traveling for their training (higher education, apprenticeship contract, internships, etc.).
What are the differences with traditional leases
If you are interested in the implementation of the ELAN law and wish to offer your accommodation for long-term rental, here are several specificities of the mobility lease compared to other rental contracts.
- The status of the tenant is one of the key points of this contract. You cannot rent your accommodation under a Bail Mobilité if your tenant is not a student or professional on the move. To do this, they must provide you with proof of their status (through an internship agreement or by presenting you with proof of training).
- The duration of the mobility lease is regulated. Unlike the student lease which is established over 9 months (the equivalent of a traditional school year) as well as the furnished rental contract (concluded for 1 year and renewable if necessary), the mobility lease allows a certain flexibility by covering a duration between 1 and 10 months, but is not renewable once this period is over.
- The guarantee criteria also differ from the long-term lease or normal furnished lease. No security deposit should be requested by the owners under the mobility lease. In addition, the guarantee of the payment of the rent is granted to the tenant by means of the Visale guarantee.
Please note that shared accommodation is still possible under a mobility lease. However, it will be accepted without a solidarity clause between the tenants. In addition, regarding home insurance, it must be taken out by the tenant, regardless of the rental contract.
How to set up a Mobility Lease
To be eligible for the mobility lease, your accommodation must meet a number of conditions. Whatever your situation, when you want to rent out your accommodation, it must be decent to accommodate your future tenants. It must therefore respect a minimum surface area, must not contain any risk to the safety and health of travelers and must achieve a minimum energy performance. In addition, to be qualified as decent, your accommodation must be free of vermin and parasites and must provide the necessary equipment for living.
Your accommodation must also be considered furnished. To do this, he must respect a list of mandatory equipment such as:
- a kitchen equipped with an oven or microwave oven, hotplates, a refrigerator and a freezer (or integrated freezer);
- complete bedding (with duvet and blanket) as well as shutters or curtains in the sleeping areas;
- sufficient kitchen utensils and crockery;
- light fixtures;
- household maintenance equipment adapted to the accommodation;
- a table with seats.
If your accommodation and the status of the tenant meet the conditions of the Bail Mobilité, then you can edit your lease according to government procedures. Be careful however, certain clauses such as the request for a security deposit, the renewal or tacit renewal of the lease as well as the condition of solidarity between the possible joint tenants are prohibited when the lease is issued.
However, it is possible for landlords to request a deposit through the commitment of a legal or natural person to pay the rent in the event of non-payment.
