**The problem it solves** 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. **What SPLM does** 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. **How it works** 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. **Who it's for** 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.
