Party could be over for Airbnb lets in Sunak crackdown

The Telegraph  

Airbnb owners and guests could face sanctions if properties are used as party houses under a drive to stamp out anti-social behaviour. The move forms part of the Government's strategy to tackle the anti-social activities blighting Britain's neighbourhoods, as the Prime Minister declared people have "rightly had enough" of disruption on their doorsteps. The 41-page action plan vows to ­prevent short-term lets "importing" bad behaviour into communities. The new strategy outlines how private landlords will be equipped with "stronger laws and systems" to send troublesome tenants packing, with an aim to halve the delay between the point at which an eviction notice is served for anti-social acts and an occupant is forced to leave the property. A spokesman for Airbnb said: "Parties are banned on Airbnb and our industry-leading prevention technology blocked more than 84,000 people in the UK from making certain unwanted bookings last year alone."
