What is short-letting? Menu Menu Short-letting is when a property is let for anything less than 90 consecutive days. Any let shorter than this period, for example one night, or two weeks – would be in breach of your lease. Websites such as Airbnb and Booking.com are becoming more popular in facilitating these types of let, however please note that it is your responsibility to ensure you adhere by the terms of your lease. Leaseholders are not permitted to short-let their property as per the terms of the lease. While we do note the Deregulation Act (2015) allows short letting for a period of up to 90 days in a calendar year, your lease prohibits this and supersedes the law as it is a contract between the leaseholder, the property and the landlord. If you short-let your property, you are not covered by our current Building’s Insurance policy as this is a breach of your lease which invalidates your coverage. 4
