Playing a very small violin atm. I don't know why this one person is mentioning "rogue agents"? But perhaps London already has some rules on where airbnbs can be, and some people break those.
In Belfast we also have airbnbs in areas with rental pressure/lack of social housing that got bought as second houses for airbnb.
I know there is always a market for rooms (students/people that work temporarily) and that's fine, but in areas that already have a shortage of affordable housing cha... airbnb shouldn't be there.
