Lady Penelope and Millie are correct, it is very unlikely that Section 258 of the SSMA 2015 can be used for short term letting as the overwhelming majority of short term letting stays would not be defined as a ‘Tenant’ under sections 7 & 8 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010. I am also guessing the intention of the law at the time it was written did not factor ‘short term’ letting. Further notifying the OC after every short term stay may be seen as ‘unreasonable’ in some peoples eyes.
