Westminster urges action on short‑term lets
Tuesday 2nd June, 2026
Westminster council leader has urged Airbnb and other platforms to tackle ‘out of control’ short‑term renting in the West End, citing around 13,000 listings and many likely breaching the 90‑day limit, and calling for data‑sharing and removal of council properties. This gives Rightmove a chance to speak to UK renters and agents about how short‑term lets affect housing supply and transparency in London, and to highlight tools or data that help the market and enforcement in the UK.
