Need more info - but no this is not a tenancy

I think you can only make that judgement with more info.

Do they provide any services like room cleaning? Do you get a front door key? Does access to the common parts of the house get shut off at certain points (e.g. maybe there's a living room that's locked at 10pm every night by a housekeeper)?

You may have a case that this is an AST over a single room in an HMO with rent payable weekly.

I think to clasify as a BnB they have to be providing certain services. If you just have access to a room in a house and there's no cleaning/bedding/towel/meal services available then that's significantly more AST like.

no, but written tenancy agreements arent needed, and favour the tenant if not present.

ive no idea how its registered, but if i call my rented house a Bnb, its not necessarily so.

Totally agreed, but you calling it a tenancy doesn't make it so either.


So lets start of with the address and any contact details

A holiday rental doesn't require any of those either, it does require the premises to be registered as a business though.


The fact that the OP recognises it as a BnB is enough to say that there must be more to support this viewpoint.

no services provided, i have a house key and access to common areas. For all intents, its running as a HMO, advertised on a popular Bnb site.

You haven't, you've been asked to vacate what is in essence a hotel room.


Now you'll say your homeless - which now means i'll say:


Stop drip feeding information, give us the whole story (including any business details) and we can help

no, and my opinion is meaningless in law. its nominally a bnb.

A holiday rental also requires that it isn't let to the same person for long periods.

(see https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/323821/hs253.pdf, can't be bothered to dig out the details, key sentence is 'The pattern of occupation condition
the accommodation must not be let for periods of longer-term occupation (see page 4) for more than 155 days during the year')

Though I'd agree that fact that OP identifies it as a BnB indicates at least some of the tests that show it's a BnB will pass.

Absolutely but two weeks is well within parameters.
