question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, in the light of the research by the Kensington Society which found that there were some 70,000 short-term lets available in London on 2 June 2016 alone, what is their assessment of the impact of the growth in the number of London properties used for short-term holiday lets on the availability of long-term housing in London.
tabling member printed	Baroness Gardner of Parkes
uin	HL1598
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government supports the shared economy, and although it does not hold specific information on short-term holiday lets, it does monitor broader trends in private rented housing through the English Housing Survey. It is right that Londoners should have similar rights as elsewhere in England and be free to sublet their homes where their tenancy, contract or mortgage allows. We condemn, however, the abuse of planning laws, and those in breach face a fine of up to £20,000.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 28/09/2017 14:36:46 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

uin	HL977
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/08/2017 answer text <p>The Government has not made an assessment. Agencies have strong powers for tackling anti-social behaviour through the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act, requiring landlords to deal with nuisance.</p><p>Residents affected can request from their Local Authority an Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review - also called Community Trigger – in which they can insist on a multi-agency review of their case if they have reported the problem three times in the past six months and yet the problem has not yet been resolved</p><p>Any incidence of abuse or violence should be reported to the police. The police and local authorities have a significant range of powers and we expect these to be used, putting the needs of victims at the heart of their response, promptly and proportionately.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 01/08/2017 15:19:27 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
