We welcome new rules for short-term lets
It’s vital that any new rules strike the right balance between the needs of local communities, Hosts, and guests.
One of the biggest challenges policymakers face is the lack of accurate information on how many short-term lets there are, where they are located, how often they are used, and any impact they could be having on housing supply.
Any decisions by local authorities to restrict short-term lets should be based on evidence gathered by the new, national registration system.

Most Hosts only list one space
For many Hosts, home sharing is a chance to open a space in their primary residence to guests while they’re away.
It means that everyday people have the opportunity to make some extra income from major events taking place in their community - like the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham or the European Song Contest in Liverpool.

Parties are banned on Airbnb
We believe that the neighbourhoods and communities in which we operate are as important as the Hosts and guests who use our service.
That’s why in 2020, we introduced a global party ban. Since introducing the ban, there has been a 75% drop in party reports made to Airbnb in the UK.
If any guest is disturbing the peace, our 24/7 Neighbourhood Support Line allows neighbours to raise concerns with our dedicated support team.

Airbnb wants to be a good partner
Airbnb has been calling for new rules for some time, including publishing our own proposals in 2021.
We want to work with communities and believe local authorities should have the tools to address local housing concerns.
To avoid unintended consequences on tourism and hardworking families, it’s essential that any interventions are proportionate and based on accurate data.

Airbnb generates billions for the UK economy
Short term lets make it easier for people to travel around the country, bringing tourism to places that would otherwise go without.
That means real-world benefits for families, communities and local economies across the country. In 2022, Hosts and guests on Airbnb contributed £2.9 billion to the UK economy.
Many local businesses rely on this trade - with over half of guests on Airbnb taking a UK Host’s recommendation to visit a local business or place in 2021.

Airbnb helps support jobs
Hosts and guests come together in 2,700 cities, villages and towns across the country - and we work with communities to promote travel to areas where it’s needed.
That means more jobs in the places that need them - helping local people in communities benefit directly from tourism.
In 2022, economic activity generated by Hosts and guests supported over 100,000 jobs in the UK. The benefit to everyday people is direct, positive and significant.
