Both solutions have advantages and disadvantages for landlords. Here are the main differences to help you decide:
Furnished rental
Higher return: there is strong demand for luxury furnished flats, from expatriate executives to students at prestigious universities and international civil servants. Furnished properties rent for an average of 10-20% more.
A flexible solution: if you need clarification on how long you want to rent, let us offer short-term contracts with a minimum 3-month civil code lease.
Tax advantages: rental income is treated as industrial and commercial profits (BIC), giving you a choice between the flat-rate tax system, with a 50% allowance on income, and the ‘actual’ tax system, under which all expenses are deducted, and the property is depreciated, which can often considerably reduce or even cancel taxation.
Unfurnished rental
Regular income: offering financial stability, unfurnished rentals guarantees regular incomes with a minimum three-year lease for individuals and six years if the landlord is a company.
Maximum occupancy rate: lower rental vacancy, marketing costs are quickly amortised.
Lower maintenance costs: with less maintenance and equipment replacement, unfurnished rental means lower refurbishment costs between lettings.
