Illegal subletting: Airbnb is for the first time found responsible for the contents published

It is a decision that could set a precedent. This Tuesday, the Paris Court of Appeal upheld Airbnb’s conviction for having “largely contributed” to the illegal subletting of accommodation by its tenant. This offence, generally imputed to the sole tenant who did not request the prior authorization of the owner to sublet his property, is this time also blamed on the Internet platform for tourist rentals.
