That's not true. No mention of 48h anywhere. Only place i found it is here: https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F35254 https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F35254
"Le préfet rend sa décision dans un délai de 48 heures, à partir de la réception de la demande." which roughly translate to "The prefect renders his decision within 48 hours of receiving the request."
We have a family house that was squatted on the coast during last winter. We asked the squatters to leave (while redacting a letter to the prefect) and they too believed the "48 hour" stuff. The police did not however, and made them leave quite quickly (less than a week).

The 48 hours are a generally applied rule for the squatters to be differentiated from, say, burglars. Because otherwise someone forcibly coming into your house while you are there could not be arrested at all. The ones you mention is for the preéfet to statute about the expulsion. > We have a family house that was squatted on the coast during last winter I honestly pity you. I know of two families whose house was squatted and it took months for them to get back their house (in a terrible state); They never got anything from the quatters (nor from the insurance in one case).
- Iv 5y agoLe Figaro is notoriously bad at sorting facts from right-wing rumors. That squatter theme is a recurrent subject to scare their typical landlord readership. Find primary sources for that.
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoIt is difficult to find more primary sources than being friends with people who were squatted and having witnessed what they went through.
- jwilber 5y agoRegardless, as an American reading this thread,it’s strange how common an occurrence in France squatting seems to be.
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoIsn't it common in the California?
- SystemOut 5y agoAt 30 days they gain rights as a tenant. There was a case years ago of someone with an AirBnB I believe where they stayed longer than 30 days and then refused to leave claiming they had established the place as their residence.
- markdown 5y agoSounds perfect. Nobody should own more than one residence. Another family taking over is the best outcome for the community. Absentee landlords really need to be given the boot.
- nautilius 5y agoI don't understand your point at all. What's an absentee landlord in your book? A landlord who doesn't live in the place they are renting out? I would assume that's - all of them?
- gowld 5y agoA non absentee landlord lives on the same land as the rental unit.
- CompuHacker 5y agoDo you mean a contiguous, legal parcel of land or a more natural division, like valleys, mountaintops, coastlines, etc.?
