Update on short-term rental regulations in Nice
As of today, May 1st, the application system for short-term rental permissions is still not open.
The city continues to not accept new applications in the quota zones, pending the outcome of the legal process currently underway.
For the rest of Nice, applications can still be submitted as usual.
This follows the challenge introduced against the regulation adopted in December 2025, and the situation remains unchanged until a decision is made.
In short:
• The system remains closed in quota zones
• No new applications are being accepted in those areas
• Applications are still possible outside of quota zones
• The timeline remains uncertain
For property owners and investors, this means continued uncertainty when it comes to planning rental strategies in Nice.
We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as soon as there is more clarity.
