In Paris, France, a tenant was punctually subletting part of her housing with Airbnb while the regulations forbade it.
Madame challenged her eviction explaining that if she subleased her housing on Airbnb, it was because of financial difficulties related to the amount of her income (« 2250 euros per month »), while the Régie Immobilière (Real-Estate Board) of the City of Paris replied that she has « a salary of 2289 euros, alimony, and a family-support allowance, in respect of a rental rate representing less than a third of her income, i.e. a disposable income of 1,000 euros ».
But if a tenant who benefits from social housing wants to sublet this dwelling, does he have the right to do so?
