AirBnB Long term rental

87 Posts


Long story short is husuband and I are selling our house in England and movie to Glasgow. Due to the Scottish system we plan to rent an AirBnB for a few months whilst we look and complete on a house in Glasgow. The prices are pretty crazy with average of £2000 a month for a 1 bed. Also issue is we have 2 burmese house cats and most places say no pets.
I was going to message a couple of the Owners and see if they would accept the cats if we paid a deposit. Also to say if we could have a better discount if we paid for 3 months in advance and would not expect any refund if we moved out in 2 etc, due to quick completition. Just wondering if anyone else had tried this or if any owners have suggestions of best way to approach this. We had thought of renting but who would want us for such a short time and we don't feel comfortable lying to landlords.

Certainly check out the rules on normal rents in Scotland as you're probably much better off taking a longer rent and serving notice early.
