How about a little holiday in a very nice property?
Write to Airbnb and say that you are moving into the property and it will no longer be available on Airbnb as you will be living there.
Your ex partner is the one with the contract with Airbnb so they will have to notify the Airbnb that the property is no longer available?0 -
The ex partner sounds like a tenant to me. I think the OP thinks lack of an agreement changes this somehow.How about a little holiday in a very nice property?

You said "I have decided to withdraw my consent for that 'User' to list my property".
Have you actually told your ex-partner that? Your post is all about your conversations with AirBnB, but what did the ex say when you told them they were no longer allowed to let it out?
Assuming the property is 100% yours (they're not a joint owner), if you've told them to return your key and never to set foot in the property again and they're ignoring you, seek legal advice.
If you've told them they can keep the key (why??) but they're just not allowed to let it on AirBnB anymore, I'm not entirely sure what to suggest!
What access (if any) do you still want the ex to have? Do they live there part-time? People might be able to advise better if we know that...0 -
This is not an AirBNB issue. They provide a platform for people to advertise.
This is a matter between you and your ex.
You're spending time muddying the waters. Concentrate on getting control of the property back, not "fighting" AirBNB.0 -

That is my problem.
I'm pretty sure that a locksmith would not change the lock on your house unless the person requesting it can prove that they are either the legal owner or the tenant currently living in the property. Neither of which your ex can do so I think you are worrying about nothing.
To put your mind at rest though, maybe you could phone round a few locksmiths and ask them what their procedure is for ascertaining the person's right of entry to the property.0 -

There's no information at all from the OP on this matter.
They were very deliberately vague with who the host was to start with.0 -
Have you both been fully declaring all rental income to HMRC, please?
You keep saying there is no tenancy agreement: A tenancy agreement does not have to be written, verbal is fine for less than 3 years, entirely legal.
Has the other party at any time been paying you rent? If so, there is a tenancy. However if the other party is not living there (sounds like..) then it's not an AST (can't be, legally impossible to be) so s21 eviction not possible.
Good luck: Yet another example of why AirBnB needs controlling across the world.0 -
move in then, let the first airbnb person that can't get in deal with airbnb.0

OP can't have been if the ex hasn't told them what the income is or given them a share! However would it then be their income to report...?0
