Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Bouéni area. I don't have reliable information about short-term rental regulations for Bouéni. This appears to be a commune in Mayotte (French overseas territory). Without verified data on their specific STR requirements, permit systems, and enforcement practices, I recommend contacting local authorities in Bouéni or the Mayotte prefecture directly for current regulations. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
