The principle
One tenant. A company.
You are not handing your property to a manager, you are letting it to a business. The business pays, insures, maintains, and hosts the guests. The difference is legal, and it changes everything.
A fixed rent, paid in advance
The amount is written into the lease. It is paid every month, in advance, whether the property hosted thirty nights or none. Low season is our problem.
Zero management, zero calls
Guests, cleaning, linen, keys, reviews, disputes, small repairs: all ours. No messages to read, no contractor to find, no decision to make.
Furnished at our expense
We fit out and decorate the property for short lets, on our own budget. We want it to look good: we are the ones letting it.
Looked after every week
A short-let property is cleaned and inspected after every stay. A leak, a faulty socket, damp: spotted in days, not years.
Try it
Move the slider. Watch your rent.
Occupancy is the variable everyone fears in short lets. With a sublet, it is no longer your concern.
100 %
unchanged
The rent is set in the lease. It depends neither on bookings, nor on cancellations, nor on reviews.
How it goes
From the visit to the first transfer
Four steps and a schedule we keep. A property ready in a few weeks earns for longer.
- Day 101
You tell us about the property
A thirty-minute conversation, on site or by video. Address, size, condition, building rules, what you expect. We tell you frankly whether it suits short lets.
- Within 48 h02
We propose a rent
A firm amount, based on the property's real potential and the local market. Not a range: one monthly figure you can compare with what you earn today.
- Week 203
We sign the civil lease
Three firm years, tacit renewal, six months' notice. Deposit, joint inventory, insurance certificate. Everything in writing before the first key.
- Every month04
You receive your rent
We furnish, list and host. On your side, the only thing that happens is a transfer, on a fixed date, with its receipt.
Three ways to let
Sublet, management or a classic tenancy
We offer the first two. The right choice depends on what you want to carry: the most income, or the most peace of mind.
| Sublet | Management | Classic tenancy | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you receive | A fixed rent, every month | Actual income, minus 25 % | A fixed rent |
| If the property is empty | You are paid | You receive nothing | You receive nothing |
| Arrears | Impossible: the company pays | None: platforms collect | Your risk |
| Damage | Ours to cover | Guest deposits and insurance | Deposit, then proceedings |
| Furniture and decoration | At our expense | At yours, with our decorator | Depends on the lease |
| Day-to-day management | None | None | Yours |
| Getting the property back | Six months' notice | Fifteen days for your own stays | Regulated notice, limited grounds |
| Income potential | Stable | The highest | The lowest |
With management, you keep the property's full potential and we take 25 % of net rent. With a sublet, you trade that potential for certainty.

Who pays what
Everything a property involves, and who covers it. The lease sets it out in black and white.

What the contract says
A civil lease, not a mandate
We do not represent you and we manage nothing on your behalf: we rent. The framework is the French Civil Code, and it is written into every lease we sign.
Articles 1708 et seq. of the Civil Code
The civil lease is the ordinary-law rental contract. It falls neither under the 6 July 1989 residential tenancy act nor under commercial lease rules: no right of renewal, no eviction indemnity.
Article 1717 of the Civil Code
The owner expressly authorises subletting in the lease. It is lawful from day one, and the owner acknowledges that sublet income may exceed the head rent.
No assignment of the lease
We may sublet, never assign. Your tenant remains MM Suites for the whole term. Nobody else can take our place.
Outside the Hoguet act
This is not property management: we hold no funds on your behalf. The rent you receive is ours, not a third party's passing through us.
Term and exit
Three firm years, then tacit renewal in three-year periods. Either party may end it by registered letter with six months' notice, effective once current stays have ended.
Inventory and deposit
A joint inventory at entry and exit, a deposit paid at signature, and an insurance certificate provided every year on request.
The standard lease is handed over at the meeting, before any decision. Your notary or lawyer is welcome to read it: we insist on it.
Why us
We run this model on our own properties
We do not recommend subletting from the outside. We are tenants of apartments in Reims that we run exactly this way, with the same leases and the same methods we offer you.
« An owner once told us he had forgotten he owned the apartment. That is exactly the service we sell. »
Steven Mouyokolo · founder of MM Suites
Local experience, since 2018
We live here. We know the city's calendar, its conferences, fairs and match days, and we know what a neighbourhood really earns, not what a spreadsheet assumes.
A rating that does not lie
4.9 out of 5 across more than six hundred reviews. Proof that the properties are looked after, and a property looked after is returned to you in good condition.
A reply within thirty minutes
To guests, and to you. A question about the lease, a receipt, access to the property: you have a named contact who answers.
A registered, insured, declared company
SASU MM Suites, registered in Reims. Properties are declared to the town hall, classified as tourist accommodation where possible, and insured for their operation.
Your property, in our hands
What your property becomes
Real photos of properties run by MM Suites. Fit-out, decoration and photography included.
A sublet apartment is not left to itself for three years. It is cleaned after every stay, inspected every week, and repaired as soon as a detail is off. It is in our interest: it is our working tool.
At the end of the lease you get back a maintained property, with its exit inventory. Often in better condition than at the start.
Who it is for
A sublet is made for you if
You have had arrears
Or three months' vacancy between two tenants. You want income that no longer depends on one person's solvency.
You are far away
Abroad, travelling, or simply in another city. You do not want to manage a property remotely, nor pay someone to half do it.
You invest through a company
You want a readable yield, a corporate tenant, and a lease your accountant understands in one read.
You prefer certainty
Short lets can earn more. You prefer an amount known in advance to a better but variable one. A respectable choice, and this is it.
Questions we get asked
What if the property stays empty for a whole month?
You are paid. The rent is owed under the lease, not by bookings. Vacancy is our risk, and it is precisely what you delegate to us.
How is the rent set?
On the property's real short-let potential: neighbourhood, size, capacity, condition, and our track record on comparable properties. We make a firm proposal within 48 hours. It is generally at, or above, a classic tenancy rent.
Who is liable for damage?
We are. The lease requires us to insure the operation and return the property in the condition of the entry inventory, normal wear excepted. Guests also leave a deposit on the platforms.
Can I get my property back?
Yes, at the end of the three-year firm period, then at each renewal, with six months' notice by registered letter. Notice takes effect once already-booked stays have ended.
Is it legal?
Yes. Subletting is lawful as soon as the owner accepts it in writing, which the lease does expressly under article 1717 of the Civil Code. Reims is not a regulated high-demand zone. We handle the town hall registration.
What about my building's rules?
We check the co-ownership rules together before signing: some forbid short lets. If so, we will tell you, and point you to management or another solution.
How do I declare this rent?
As rent: you receive rental income from a company, with a receipt every month. The exact regime depends on your situation; your accountant confirms it in minutes.
Does the property need to be furnished?
No. We take empty properties and furnish them at our expense. If it is already furnished, we take that into account in the proposal.
Sublet or management, how do I choose?
If you want the most income and accept that it varies, management. If you want a known amount every month and never to think about it again, a sublet. We give you both figures, you compare.
