Research indicates that over 50% of London's short-term holiday let properties are rented unlawfully, breaching regulations meant to limit rentals over 90 days annually. Westminster Council leader Adam Hug highlighted the significant community disruptions in areas like the West End and Bayswater, including noise complaints and increasing waste issues, which burden local council services. The report by Central London Forward stresses the need for a national registration scheme and better data sharing from rental websites to empower local authorities to enforce compliance effectively.
Following recent research revealing that over half of London's short-term holiday lets are illegal, advocacy for government action is growing, emphasizing community impacts.
