Reply to Renting Airbnb for Longer Than 28 Days

by Jon66

As 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.

Renting Airbnb for Longer Than 28 Days

by Mr. Sparkle

I have an airbnb in London

I just received an enquiry from a potential guest that wants to book my property for about 45 days

What I want to know is whether there are any risks with this?

Reply to Major works vs minor works - when is permission needed?

by eevomi

Thanks 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...

Major works vs minor works - when is permission needed?

by eevomi

I am renting from a large housing association, and I have an assured affordable rent tenancy. I swapped here via mutual exchange two years ago....

Reply to Major works vs minor works - when is permission needed?

by Lawcruncher

You haven't said if you have actually asked for permission. If you have not, I would be inclined to write and say something...

Reply to Renting Airbnb for Longer Than 28 Days

by Lawcruncher

What is key is the purpose of the letting, not its length. If you let a dwelling to someone to use for a month while he is working on a project away from home or as temporary accommodation while he is looking for somewhere to buy, then there is a risk, if all the statutory conditions are fulfilled,...

It'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.
