Housing (Temporary Provisions regarding Short-term Lettings) Bill 2020

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Aims to temporarily stop certain short-term lets in cities and large towns, for stays of 28 days or less, so more homes can be made available for long-term renting. It is meant as a short-term measure and includes exceptions, with an option to end it earlier if lawmakers judge that enough homes are available for rent. It matters because it is aimed at easing pressure on housing supply.
