Written Question
Rented Housing: Airbnb
Monday 25th October 2021

Asked by: Janet Daby (Labour - Lewisham East)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the impact of Airbnb on the availability of homes for long-term renting.

Answered by Eddie Hughes

We recognise the benefits that short-term holiday lets such as Airbnb, can bring to local economies, as well as some of the challenges that this can sometimes pose to communities. Whilst we have not made an assessment of the impact of Airbnb on the availability of homes for long-term renting, we keep this under review.
