Homes Not Hotels

Better conditions for renters in tourist hotspots

In Britain’s holiday hotspots, landlords are taking homes and turning them into hotels.

Renters tell us that they cannot find anywhere to live because so many homes are being listed on Airbnb.

That’s why Generation Rent is campaigning to close the holiday tax loophole which encourages landlords to ditch tenants and rent to tourists.

A fairer tax system will make it more secure for tenants in holiday hot spots.

Our recent report on holiday homes reveals that in hot spots like South West England, Scotland and coastal Wales renters are facing a tougher time than ever. It’s time renters in these areas were given a better deal.

So join us in campaigning for better conditions for renters in tourist areas by signing up to be part of the campaign.
