LMP Status: Mandatory Registration with the French Trade and Companies Register Held Unconstitutional
Written by, Séphora Amsellem on February 8, 2019
The French Constitutional Court ruled that the requirement of the registration of a Loueur Meublé Professionnel (professional lessor of furnished property) with the French Trade and Company Registrar is unconstitutional. In fact, the rental activity of a furnished property is not considered as a commercial transaction in the meaning of Article L. 110-1 of the French Commercial Code. As a result, such requirement is no longer needed to be an LMP.
