Also referred to as ‘holidays lets or short-term accommodation’, the property market has recently seen a boom in this type of activity. With the increased financial benefits for landlords, many are now opting to rent their properties via companies such as Air BnB.
Whilst the increased profits are an attractive proposition for the landlord, the increased turnover of tenants subsequently elevates the chance of property damage, or a liability claim against the landlord.
Many online providers are unable/unwilling to provide cover for short-term lets, instead insisting that all tenancies must be on Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST’s).

If you are considering renting your property out as short-term accommodation, then we recommend you check your local authority guidance. Some councils may only allow you to rent a property out as short-term accommodation for 90 days and above 90 days may require planning permission.
