Concerns over rowdy Airbnb guests could prompt a Government crackdown on short-term lets, according to new anti-social behaviour plans.

An action plan published by the Government on Monday aims to stop short-term lets “importing anti-social behaviour into communities”.

It comes amid concerns about the potential for Airbnb lets – which see homeowners rent shared rooms or entire properties to holidaymakers or travellers – to cause trouble for quiet or residential communities.
