Former deputy mayor of Paris in charge of housing tabled a bill against evictions. “More and more owners are using the recovery leave system to evict their tenant, put their accommodation on Airbnb and take huge amounts of money,” he said.

According to legal texts, the owner can only opt for leave to take back his accommodation on the expiry date of the lease and only for three reasons: to sell the accommodation, to take it back (to live in it or to accommodate a close)
