The commission is based on the property type and location




The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.


I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.


For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.


The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.


The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.


I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

Before you list, check local rules — France has city-specific requirements (notably Paris) for short-term rentals.
• Planning/permissions: Many cities require registration; Paris limits primary residences to 120 nights/yr and often needs change-of-use for secondary homes. Check mairie rules and copropriété/lease/mortgage terms.
• Safety/building: Fit smoke alarms (obligatoire), keep clear escape routes; maintain electrical/gas checks and provide fire-safety info; follow building syndicate rules.
• Tax/records: Collect/remit taxe de séjour where applicable and declare income to impôts; keep invoices/guest logs for audits.
See local guidance → Airbnb Rules France.
Primary homes are generally capped at 120 nights/year. Many cities require a registration number, and secondary homes often need change-of-use permission. Building rules can also apply. We guide basics and signpost your mairie’s guidance.
