What is it like to be a furnished landlord in Nantes?
In Nantes, renting a furnished tourist property requires a registration number. Nantes Métropole issues it through its tourist-tax platform: you create an account, declare the property and get the number to show on listings. For the other municipalities of the metropolitan area, Cerfa form no. 13 566 applies. If you stop renting permanently, you must inform the platform.
The regime then depends on the nature of the property. A main home may be rented as a furnished tourist rental without authorisation, up to 120 days a year. It must be occupied at least eight months a year, unless you are prevented by work, health reasons or force majeure. Beyond that, or for a second home, short-term rental requires prior change-of-use authorisation, with compensation in Nantes.
For a Nantes investor, the accounting reading is as follows. The choice between micro-BIC and real regime is made on your costs, works and loan, as anywhere in France. But the permitted rental period, and so your income level, depends on the status of the property. Long-term furnished rental (students, employees on assignment) stays outside this authorisation scheme.

What pitfalls does a furnished landlord face in Nantes?
Staying on micro-BIC out of habit
Micro-BIC is simple: a flat allowance applies to your rent. But with a loan, renovation work and a depreciable property, the real regime often gives a much lower taxable result. The choice deserves a fresh calculation every year.
Forgetting how depreciation affects the resale
For sales made since 15 February 2025, depreciation deducted under the real regime is added back when calculating the capital gain. The benefit during the rental years is real, but you need to plan for it before selling.
Becoming LMP without knowing it
You become a professional landlord (LMP) if your furnished rental income exceeds €23,000 a year and exceeds the other business income of your household. The social and tax consequences are significant, especially on resale.
Exceeding 120 days without noticing
Nights rented across several platforms add up towards the 120-day limit for a main home. Without a monthly count, you cross the threshold in peak season. The property then falls within change of use, with income that was not in your financing plan.
