The nightmare neighbours which Mancunians suffer from

‘Lifts have been smashed up’, ‘doors have been kicked in’, and residents have woken up to ‘banging on the wrong door’ by unruly Airbnb guests.

Authority figures believe the increase has been driven by a lack of regulation on turning homes into STLs — with planning permission not required for a conversion. There is also a shortfall in traditional hotel rooms in the city — with thousands more being built over the next few years — just as new visitor attractions like Co-op Live and Aviva Studios open.

“We do need to clamp down on it. I am not saying get rid of STLs but we need ASB to be nipped in the bud. Most of what I hear about STLs on the doorstep is negative. Even where there are clauses in the building where you are not allowed to sublet they are just ignored. We need to be able to shut these down.”

“When we get issues with noise, waste, and ASB we can take action in the same way we can with a tenancy,” she told the Town Hall. “But because we do not have a register of STLs we rely on the intelligence of residents and councillors and we build up our own register based on previous complaints.
