Chrishax, you are a new member here. Implying that in the majority we have been unhelpful isn't going to endear you to us!

Agreed!

If your principal residence is not in France, whatever nationality you are, you cannot claim any of the tax reductions on taxe d'habitation for your second home(s) in France.

you seem weirdly angry Circe, that I picked up from the lack of appreciation for all the other aspects of my answer on other questions....please dont be a total troll. I am not a troll. I have been on this forum for a long time. I like facts, not vague statements and I much prefer information from ...

I am waiting, chrishax, for a source justifying your statement....

That's old news, chrishax.
The tax surcharge referred to in that article only concerns big cities, second home owners elsewhere are not affected.

Right now I know you are all more worried about will there be any bookings or not but in the meantime whilst you are also updating your house info can I just give you all, wherever you live or rent out, a big important reminder: PLEASE leave the emergency numbers in several places, not just in an on...

I do my best to ensure my safety and those of the next guests.
That document contains some sane practical advice, roughly what I have been doing anyway except that I wear 'normal' shoes, as I do in shops and other public places (!)

Not just renting holidaymakers, but second home owners too who don't let out their properties. Some are worried about risk of infection en route, others won't risk the possibility of having to go into quarantine or lockdown here or back home in the UK (and elsewhere). Some have to think about the fu...

Good luck, I can't help you sorry but hope you find someone.
