by Jon66As Lawcruncher said, as the purpose of the stay will be work, it will probably be an AST. In this position I would decline as it could be messy.

by eevomiThanks so much for this! I haven't asked permission yet, no. They aren't taking calls relating to anything other than emergency repairs and I can't find a working contact form on their website currently (they throw errors each time), but I will try calling them on Monday - hopefully they'll be opening...

by DPT57It's more a question of why he wants the property. If its an extended holiday you should be fine, Airbnb rules aside. If its for any other purpose then it's possible that it will be an AST unless it's serviced by you, (eg cleaning, laundering bedding) at intervals throughout their stay.
