I’ve got a feeling we are looking at that, from memory,” he said. Sunak was questioned on the issue of Airbnb guests causing a nuisance to local residents at an event in Chelmsford in Essex on Monday. If any short-term rental property proved “problematic”, local officials could take action against guests and owners. Referencing noise problems, drunken behaviour and disorderly conduct, the plan promises the creation of a new registration scheme that would provide councils with the data to identify short-term lets in their areas. It comes amid concerns about the potential for Airbnb guests to cause trouble for quiet or residential communities. Rishi Sunak’s action plan also requires homeowners who rent out their properties on the Airbnb website to register on a new database that will make it easier for local councils to deal with complaints about problematic guests. All new private tenancy agreements will have to include clauses that specifically ban antisocial behaviour – and the notice period for eviction on these grounds will be cut from four weeks to a fortnight.
