Hello, and welcome to the J'poster Complet channel, the channel which helps seasonal rental companies become serene and ultra-profitable seasonal entrepreneurs. I'm delighted to see you again for this new live. It's been a long time since I last performed live. It's a return. There are lots of things changing. I even changed the location from where I will film the Lives for you. It's a test. I don't know if I'll keep this place. I'm also standing, which is different from the Lives I did before. I don't know if I'm going to like it better or like it less well. There we go, we'll see.
So, the subject we are going to discuss today is the subject of prostitution. This is a subject that is really important for a number of us. We have many examples where, in fact, we see neighbors telling me that there is potentially prostitution in our apartment. It's quite problematic. We will tell ourselves why, just afterwards, and we will discuss, therefore, how to react, how to avoid prostitution to be sure to have a good relationship with the co-owners of the building, if it is a building in which we operate, and ensure that it is not something that will cause us harm in the long term, because you know, perhaps, legally, it can be very serious. You risk a lot with prostitution.
What I suggest to you is that when you arrive on live, tell me if you are there. How are you ? Are you happy that we are resuming Lives? Can you hear me too? I'm trying a new system. There, I film with my iPhone. I used to do this before with my computer. So, I want you to tell me if everything is okay, if you hear me, if you see me. But I guess so, anyway. So there you have it, I will be delighted to greet you. So hello to you. Oh yes ! And I can also click. See, even, I discover that I can actually click on your, on your messages to view them. Great ! I can be heard perfectly. Awesome. Hello everyone. So I don't see your name, but welcome. I have a second person who says to me: “Hello Élise”. Welcome to all of you. It's nice to see you again. Honestly, it's been a long time, it's been a long time without doing a live together. But I'm really happy to be able to start again. Nicolas who tells me: “Everything is perfect”. So cool! Thank you very much, thank you very much. Hello to you. So, I saw correctly, for the little anecdote, that if you do not have your first name displayed on Facebook, then I cannot say “hello” to you. I don't see who you are. There is just a little link to follow, I put it in the comments of the video, a little link to click on and just authorize Facebook to display your first name, like that, there you go, we recognize each other, we can say hello. It's really nice. Hello Ana. Ana who follows us from YouTube, because in fact I publish these Lives on our Facebook group and on the YouTube channel. If you haven't yet subscribed to the YouTube channel, well, what are you waiting for! You can go to YouTube “I'm showing full” and click “subscribe”. This will also allow you to be alerted on YouTube. I think I was told, when I did the Lives at the beginning of the year, that the interface was nice enough to follow the Lives. So, don't hesitate to go there too. “It’s perfect, we can hear you really well.” Awesome ! “Will there be a replay? » So yes, there is a replay which will be available on our YouTube channel. So that's also why it's interesting to subscribe to the YouTube channel. The replay will be on the YouTube channel. And another important point is that if you are in our Facebook group, the “J’poster Complet” Facebook group, it’s “seasonal rentals, prices and maximization of turnover”. You have the link just below in the comments. Well, you also have access to the replay of this live in the information feed which will allow you to watch it at peace, if you are not available right away.
So this subject of prostitution! Often, I see people on the networks asking questions about prostitution. The first instinct we have on this subject is to say “I didn’t know”. It’s the human reflex to say: “Well, I didn’t know. I am not complicit in something of which I had no knowledge.” There is something very important to know with the law, which is that this argument is not legally understandable, that is to say that if there were to be a legal escalation on the frequent arrival of prostitutes in your apartment, a legal escalation linked to co-ownership, for example. The fact that you said: “I was not aware that these women, these men — let's be open — were carrying out prostitution activity.” This is not understandable in the eyes of the law. So on this subject, I looked at a document - in fact I'm going to show you, since I find it really well done - I looked at an AIRBNB document which explains - you can Google AIRBNB - that to do in case of prostitution? I could also put it in a comment, it will be interesting, which clearly explains what we risk. And I find it important to remember these things, because, in this respect, and this is also why we are seasonal entrepreneurs, we are not seasonal Sunday rental companies. As a seasonal entrepreneur, we are like hoteliers with the same legal expectations, and therefore the same legal responsibilities. A hotelier who says that “in one of the hotel rooms, he did not know” is not at all understood by the law. If prostitution is recognized in our apartments, it can be recognized as complicity in human trafficking or pimping. So, it's pretty serious. And just to give you the information of what we risk, we risk up to ten years in prison and — I don't want to say anything stupid to you — up to 750 thousand euros in fines. So, I think that over the next ten years, you plan to do something other than use it behind bars. There you go, we have plans, we have other things to do than that, so we're going to try to avoid that, because the law really says that: "If we have an establishment, even if it is not a prostitution establishment, if we have a place, premises where there has been prostitution, or there has been tolerance of prostitution, in all cases, we are responsible and complicit.” So “responsible” is not the right word, but I am not a crooked lawyer. I'll share with you what I saw. Don’t hesitate to talk to people who are lawyers on the subject. But we are complicit, in fact, complicit in this prostitution, even pimping and human trafficking, so it is very serious. 10 years in prison is serious, a fine of 750,000 euros is also very serious. So, how can we protect ourselves, in fact, from the law in this situation? Since we are not supposed to know, but at the same time, we are attributed as potentially accomplices. The only thing that will protect you from the law in this situation is to alert you as soon as you suspect prostitution, whether before the stay, during the stay, or even after the stay. And in fact, it's this alert... And besides, I'm going to read to you what the Penal Code says, because what's important, moreover, I didn't specify it, but all that, that falls under the Penal Code. We are not talking about business, commercial code, etc. No, no. It's not at all relaxed like that. It's really directly criminal code. This is also why we can face prison and so many financial fines. What the Penal Code says is article 225 11.1 - if you're interested - is that: "Any person who has attempted to commit the offenses provided for in this section - therefore the fact that we is welcomed in our premises, potentially, there has been tolerance of prostitution in our premises - wait, I'll spare you the bla-bla-bla, we don't care - if we have notified the administrative or judicial authority that we have allowed to avoid the commission of the offense or to identify it, if necessary, we are released", in fact, we are exempt from punishment, that's it. I found it a little difficult to read for you. I encourage you to return to article 225.1 of the Penal Code. In any case, I will try to provide you with the link to the AIRBNB document which I find very well done on this subject. There you go, we are exempt from penalty, if we ever contributed to alerting or helping to determine this, this prostitution.
So who should you contact in these cases? There is a judicial police authority which welcomes feedback on this subject. You have two elements. The first element is an email to doc.ocrteh@interieur.gouv.fr , you send an email saying that you have a suspicion about this. And in fact, this email protects you, because you alerted of a suspicion, you are not complicit in this situation and you are in what situation to protect. There is also a telephone number, but in my opinion it is better to leave a written record. The telephone number is 01 40 97 81 25 25. And so, what I am giving you here as information is the contact details of the central office for the suppression of trafficking in human beings.
So, what are we talking about? We are talking about protecting ourselves legally. This is the first part. But I see, I see Dimitri who says to me: “But you are not a lawyer”. And yes Dimitri, I am not a lawyer. And I encourage you much more to refer to Dimitri on this subject. Excuse me, it's live, I'm going to drink some water, since I'm standing. There you go, I really encourage you to refer to people like Dimitri who are professionals in this field.
It's a shame for a first live, I'm going to have to cut it, due to coughing.
So. I almost choked live. So thank you for your patience. Thank you to everyone who is still here with me. Almost all of you stayed. Thank you.
So, there, we saw together this legal aspect on which we still have to protect ourselves, since with the development of seasonal rentals, we are necessarily more and more exposed. And prostitution is, nevertheless, an extremely recurring point in seasonal rentals. Now you're going to tell me: "OK yes", they tell me: "I protect myself legally, that's all well and good, but, in fact, I especially have my copro on my back who constantly sends me messages to tell me that there are people constantly moving around, etc. ", that is also a problem which is much more tangible, which is immediate, and which obviously needs to be resolved, because what we want is to exploit our seasonal rentals for a very long time.
Regarding this, I think I will do it quickly so that I can finish the content that I am going to share with you. I want to do it very quickly.
There you go, I'm finishing quickly to avoid dying live.
What I wanted to share with you is that there are elements in your apartment that can be repellent, in quotes, for this clientele! The first is the noise detector, and the second is the camera outside. Maybe I'll explain it in more detail in another live, where I'm not coughing endlessly. Besides, I promise you, I don't like comedy. I did, I have laryngitis. In short, who cares, what I'm going to share with you is that you have the possibility of putting a noise detector in your apartment and the possibility of putting a camera that films the outside of the apartment. Having these two devices is not enough, you must also indicate in the travelers, in the messages sent to your travelers before their arrival, that you indicate that you have these devices. And sometimes, I even had cases where, in fact, the simple fact of announcing it, without even having it, ultimately, was enough to cancel these reservations which were doubtful. Besides, it also works for parties. So, having these two technical supports in your apartments will allow you to reduce the frequency of this clientele, which creates nuisances compared to co-ownership, which can put you in a bad position. It is true that especially the cameras outside which film arrivals and departures are an element which will worry even more the clientele, who are prostitutes, since these are clients who, precisely, have a lot of back and forth in their apartment, and who prefers to be anonymous, rather than having video traces of what happens in the apartments she frequents.
That's it, I'll stop there. Thank you for being with me. Thank you for your patience with this endless cough. I was really delighted to do this live again with you. The next live will take place on Thursday at the same time at noon. Generally speaking, I'm going to resume posting content on the J'poster Complet channel. So don't hesitate to write to me. Don't hesitate to send me your requests or any tricky topics you currently have. I am always eager to answer the questions that are most relevant to you. If you are not yet subscribed to our channel I'm displaying Complete, listen, subscribe. Don't hesitate to click: "subscribe", that way you are alerted when the live starts. And if you want, you can also register with the Facebook group “seasonal rental: prices and maximization of turnover”. You will, therefore, participate in a community of serene and ultra-profitable seasonal entrepreneurs who all, like you, want to be as profitable as possible and without spending a lot of time.
I'm still going to quickly look - as I feel that my throat is a little better - at the messages you sent me there. Thank you, that's nice. “Yes a Live”. Great. Well, it makes me happy that the pleasure is shared. It's always, it's always a pleasure. “Do the concierges notify the police? » It depends on the concierge services. But I think it's important to do this little email, which we were talking about earlier, to, in any case, remove responsibility whatever happens. I know, having also worked in the hotel industry, I know that in the hotel industry, it's really a subject, it's no laughing matter, that if there is a shadowing that is carried out on a prostitute who goes to a hotel in question, the hotel, well in any case the director of the establishment, is criminally incubated. So, there is no possibility of saying: “I didn’t know what”. It’s really, that’s why, if today – in fact, I think that’s what you were saying Dimitri – then you said: “Variable, but infrequent”. So I don't know what it was about anymore. You know that today I think – but Dimitri will confirm to us – that there are not necessarily a lot of cases of seasonal rental owners charged. Now, this is one of the things that will inevitably be in the news tomorrow. In my opinion, it is better to protect yourself on both sides, that is to say the legal side to protect your criminal risk and the co-ownership side to ensure, all the same, that they have as little prostitution as possible in your apartment. Thank you thank you for the support on the coughing fit. “It seems to me that putting in the announcement that the site is under video surveillance (even if this is not true) is quite dissuasive.” Yes, you are right. We can also, obviously, put it in the note. We have a certain number of travelers who do not read the advertisements. But you're right, you might as well duplicate, in fact, all the places in which it is announced that there is video surveillance of common areas. It can be made clear what the common areas are and try to be as dissuasive as possible.
So. Thank you for being with me. It was a real pleasure to meet you again. I suggest we meet next Thursday on a different subject. I am listening to your comments, if you have points that you would like to talk about together. It will be with great pleasure. I wish you a very good day, and see you Thursday!
