As of my last update in January 2022, Megeve, a popular ski resort town in the French Alps, had specific regulations concerning rental properties, particularly for short-term vacation rentals. France, in general, had been implementing regulations to manage the short-term rental market, aiming to balance tourism needs with local housing and community concerns. Here are some general regulations that might apply:1. **Registration and Declarations:** Property owners were required to register their rental properties and make specific declarations to local authorities before offering them as short-term vacation rentals. This process often involved obtaining permits or authorizations.2. **Rental Duration Limits:** Some regions in France, including tourist destinations like Megeve, had limitations on the number of days per year that a property could be rented out as a vacation rental. This was to prevent properties from being exclusively used for short-term tourism rentals, preserving housing for local residents.3. **Taxation and Fees:** Property owners were obligated to comply with tax regulations related to rental income and pay any applicable taxes or fees associated with offering their properties as vacation rentals.4. **Local Community Impact:** Regulations often addressed concerns about the impact of tourism on local communities, including noise, waste management, and maintaining the character of residential areas.
