Mid-term letting, managed to short-term standards
The bail mobilité ("mobility lease") is a furnished rental contract of one to ten months, designed for people spending an extended period in Nice. For an owner, it means regular rent, few turnovers and lower regulatory exposure than tourist letting.
Hostias handles this format from start to finish: presenting the property, finding and selecting the tenant, the lease, the inventory of condition, a presence during the stay and a reset of the property at the end. The tenant finds a home that is ready to live in and a local point of contact; you keep a property that is looked after and income that is easy to read.
The bail mobilité in plain terms
Created by the ELAN law, the bail mobilité is governed by articles 25-12 to 25-18 of the law of 6 July 1989. Its rules are simple but strict. Hostias is not a legal adviser: check the eligibility of the tenant and of the property on Service-Public.fr before signing.

Google Reviews & Airbnb stays
J'ai fait appel à la conciergerie Hostias pour la gestion de mon logement en location courte durée, et je suis ravi du service ! L'équipe est professionnelle, réactive et toujours à l'écoute. Mes voyageurs sont bien accueillis, le logement est impeccable à chaque location, et la communication est fluide.
J'ai 3 appartements en gestion avec Léo et son équipe, et cela se passe parfaitement bien. Je n'ai absolument pas le temps de m'en occuper, Léo l'a très bien compris, prend des initiatives, et ne me contacte que lorsque c'est vraiment nécessaire.
David-Alexandre Sibony · il y a 2 ansSuper conciergerie avec laquelle je collabore depuis des années. Une équipe soudée et fiable ! Je recommande à 100%. Léo et son équipe sont toujours à l'écoute, disponibles et surtout réactifs. Quel bonheur de travailler ensemble.

Why owners in Nice are turning to it
Short-term letting is increasingly regulated in Nice: change of use for secondary residences, a cap on days for main residences, tighter checks. The bail mobilité does not fall under this tourist regime. It also meets real local demand: students at the universities and schools of the metropolitan area, healthcare staff on temporary cover, executives seconded to Sophia Antipolis or the Arénas district, relocating employees looking for a base. The monthly rent stays below the peaks of a high tourist season: you trade peak potential for regularity, and that trade-off is calculated in net terms over the year.
How onboarding works
The start follows a precise order, so that the first tenant moves into a home that is ready and a clean contract.
- 01
Property visit
condition, equipment, compliance with furnished status, points to correct
- 02
Positioning
rent, flat-rate service charges, target audience and availability calendar
- 03
Going to market
photos, listing, distribution and replies to applicants
- 04
Selection and contract
mobility check, file, lease and move-in inventory of condition
- 05
Follow-up and re-letting
presence during the lease, move-out, reset and next tenant
Combining a bail mobilité with short-term letting
Many properties in Nice benefit from alternating the two formats: a bail mobilité from September to June for a student or a professional, then seasonal letting over the summer weeks, when the framework that applies to your property allows it. This mixed calendar smooths income and reduces vacancy, but it takes planning: lease end dates aligned with the season, a reset between the two uses, a check of the rules specific to the property. Hostias builds this calendar with you, comparing the scenarios in net income. For a first order of magnitude on the short-term side, use our revenue simulator.
For tenants: a home ready to live in
A bail mobilité goes well when the tenant has nothing to set up and knows who to turn to. That is what we look after first.
- A furnished and equipped home: bedding, kitchen, Wi-Fi, workspace
- An accompanied move-in, with explanations about the home and the building
- A Hostias contact reachable throughout the stay
- A simple file: proof of mobility, ID, Visale guarantee possible
- A structured move-out, with no nasty surprises on the inventory of condition

Short, honest answers to frame your decision before you delegate.
What is a bail mobilité?
The bail mobilité ("mobility lease") is a furnished rental contract of one to ten months, non-renewable, reserved for a tenant who can prove a mobility situation at the time of signing.
- Accepted situations: higher education, vocational training, apprenticeship, internship, civic service, job transfer or temporary assignment
- No security deposit can be requested
- The reference text and its up-to-date conditions are available on Service-Public.fr
Does Hostias manage bail mobilité lets in Nice?
Yes. Mid-term letting is part of our services, held to the same standard as seasonal letting.
- Presenting the property and finding the tenant
- Verifying the mobility situation, lease and inventories of condition
- A local point of contact during the stay, reset and re-letting
Can you ask for a security deposit with a bail mobilité?
No, the law prohibits it for this contract. Security comes from other means.
- The Visale guarantee, which is free, can cover unpaid rent and damage within the limits set by the scheme
- A precise move-in and move-out inventory of condition, with a furniture inventory, protects both parties
- A personal guarantee from a third party remains possible depending on the situation
What happens at the end of the lease?
The bail mobilité ends on the agreed date, with no notice to give. It can be neither renewed nor extended with the same tenant.
- If the tenant wishes to stay, a standard furnished lease has to be signed
- Its term can be changed once only by amendment, without exceeding ten months in total
- Hostias plans the re-letting several weeks before the end date to limit vacancy
Does a bail mobilité earn less than Airbnb letting?
The monthly rent is generally lower than what short-term letting can produce in high season in Nice. In return, costs, turnovers and vacancy between guests are reduced.
- The result is compared in net income over the year, not in gross rent
- A mixed calendar (bail mobilité out of season, short-term in summer) is sometimes the best compromise
- Hostias puts figures on both scenarios for your property before you decide
