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 for a Loueur en Meublé Professionnel (LMP) to be registered with the French Trade and Companies Register was unconstitutional. The Court held that the letting of furnished accommodation does not constitute a commercial activity within the meaning of Article L.110-1 of the French Commercial Code. As a result, registration with the Trade and Companies Register is no longer required in order to qualify as an LMP.
