It’s a similar problem in Canada from what I can tell. I visited Vancouver BC for work a few years ago and the place I stayed in was an Airbnb rental in a building that had very clear markings stating that those types of rentals were not allowed. Nobody is checking nor enforcing that stuff, but at least if someone was made aware, something would happen to stop it? In the US it’s just a free-for-all for capitalists and landlords.
A house down the street from me (I live in the US) was torn down and replaced with a main house, and a second separate house on the back of the property. Both are rented out separately at what I’d imagine are exorbitant rates (for reference, a house down the other direction on my street is being partially rented for $5400/m and the other part at $3800/m). The driveway runs alongside the right side of the house and because 2 different tenants rent each house, the front house can’t use the driveway at all because they run the risk of blocking the other tenant. So now all of their cars litter the street (7 of them at one point when they had friends over).
I fucking hate landlords.

700€ for 20 m2? Make that 500€ for 7m2

Don’t know where those numbers come from, it is illegal in France to rent something that is less than 9m2.
From experience. It’s 9m2, or 20m3 habitable :)
Oh, It’s also illegal to kill someone and to buy drugs, would love to hear your opinion on that
EDIT: those are numbers from my past. Nowadays it’s more like 400€ for 9m2 or 10m2, with shower inside your room.
No one is forcing you to buy drugs, kill someone or accept an illegal contract.
It’s illegal to get killed, gotcha
