The French government announced last month that it is now drafting a bill to fine Airbnb for carrying many ads not registered —1,000 euros a day, plus 5,000 euros ($6,200) a day for any such new listings appearing on the site.
Yet Airbnb and Wimdu "have not removed the listings", Brossat said, adding that "an overwhelming majority of 85 percent of ads" were flouting the rules in this way.
"In reality, Airbnb is disrespecting the law," Brossat said, adding that the website had been sent repeated warnings.
"It's incredible that this company is able to break all the rules."
