Glasgow City Council recently banned a landlord from renting
out a flat as a short term let on Airbnb.
This follows new regulations introduced by Glasgow Council in
March 2017 that bans landlords renting out an entire flat for short-term lets,
including Airbnb, in a property with a communal entrance. An individual room
can still be rented out if the owner remains living in the property or if the
property has its own entrance.
The recent ban followed complaints from other residents of
the building who were unhappy about the constant stream of visitors entering
the building. The council upheld their complaint and issued an enforcement notice
banning the landlord from renting out the property. The ban was then upheld following
the landlord’s unsuccessful appeal against the Council in a recent court
ruling.
If you want advice on letting out your property on a longer
term basis, we would be happy to advise.
