What do I do if I want to air bnb my room?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you rent a place and put rooms *or* the whole property on a house-sharing service like Airbnb, this is ‘subletting’.  It doesn’t matter how long the place or rooms are rented out for.  If your tenancy agreement says you aren’t allowed to sublet or put the place on Airbnb, then you can’t. You could ask the landlord if you can change the tenancy agreement. If they agree, make sure this is in writing.
If your agreement doesn’t ban subletting, you’ll still need to get the landlord’s written agreement to this but they can’t *unreasonably* refuse. The landlord can impose conditions on the subletting arrangement, but these conditions can’t be unreasonable.
