French furnished rental professionals operate in a rapidly changing regulatory environment and need national-scale legal advocacy, fiscal expertise, and peer coordination to defend the profession and adapt to new rules.
SPLM (Syndicat des Professionnels de la Location Meublée) is France's first and primary national trade union for furnished and short-term rental professionals. The organisation represents a broad membership of property managers, real estate agents, sub-lessors, and service providers active in the short-term, medium-term, and long-term furnished rental market.
SPLM facilitates information exchange and experience sharing across its member network to support new business model development; provides legal and fiscal expertise to defend the profession against regulatory changes, including active litigation and lobbying before French administrative courts; operates a partner network of lawyers, tax specialists, insurers, and service providers accessible to members; coordinates with related European and national associations including UNPLV (platforms), SNPRM (relocation), and EHHA (European hospitality professionals); and publishes regulatory and market news relevant to furnished rental operators. The organisation has engaged in high-profile legal challenges against municipal restrictions on short-term rental activity in France.
Property managers, real estate agencies, independent sub-lessors, and STR operators across France who need professional representation, regulatory intelligence, and peer networking to operate in a complex legal landscape.
