The Montmartre district council voted on July 7 to adopt new limits on short-term rentals of furnished apartments, requiring registration and a 90-day annual cap for primary residences. The measure applies to properties in the 18th arrondissement and takes effect with mandatory registration opening in January 2027.

National housing legislation passed earlier this year requires each Paris arrondissement to adopt its own enforcement procedures by the end of 2026. Montmartre officials reviewed more than 200 public submissions during the drafting process, focusing on enforcement dates that align with the city’s existing housing stock survey.

Residents who currently list apartments on platforms will need to complete an online declaration through the arrondissement’s portal before accepting bookings after the January start date. Those who exceed the 90-day limit face fines starting at 5,000 euros per violation, according to the text of the adopted resolution.

Changes for Local Households and Landlords

Households that rely on occasional rental income will see reduced availability of short-term bookings once the cap is enforced. Long-term tenants may notice more units listed on the standard rental market as owners adjust to the new annual limit, particularly in streets such as Rue Lepic and Rue des Abbesses where listings have been concentrated.

The council’s housing department estimates that the rules will cover approximately 3,800 registered units based on 2025 platform data submitted to the city. Enforcement will begin with random checks in the second quarter of 2027, using cross-referenced booking records.

Next Steps After the Vote

Staff will open the registration system on 15 January 2027 and begin issuing compliance certificates within 30 days of each submission. Property owners who fail to register by 31 March 2027 will be barred from advertising on any platform until they complete the process.

Further council sessions scheduled for September will finalise the inspection schedule and the exact fine collection mechanism, both of which must be published in the official bulletin before the registration window opens.
