The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has published details of its intended reforms to the rules that restrict Londoners from renting out their homes on a short-term basis.
On 9 February 2015, DCLG published a policy statement setting out the details of its proposed reforms. DCLG intends to permit short-term letting of residential premises in London for up to 90 days per calendar year. Using a 90 day cap means that properties cannot be used as temporary sleeping accommodation on a permanent basis, and any impact on local amenity should be kept within acceptable limits.
