This isn't about people who live in a rented house, this is about people who stay in an Airbnb for a bit while visiting, say, the Edinburgh fringe.

Is there any proof it needs it though, or is it just the governments desire to regulate everything?
Joe Lycett successfully listed AirBnB's head offices as an available property on AirBnB so there probably needs to be some oversight.

Councils are elected by the people.
So, the people have more power over private enterprises.

The people renting an Airbnb property are typically not ordinarily resident in the council area.

Because requiring properties to be safe for human habitation is bad for the rental market.

I mean I can't think of any other reason why the Conservatives kept blocking laws meant to require such.

The people pushing for this aren't doing it because they feel sorry for the Airbnb guests, it's hoteliers mainly.

Well, they should still be held to the same standard for people.
They need to be in a safe and adequate environment.

One disgusting thing about gig economy companies is they're usually not held to the same standards as their competetion.

In other news Boris is proposing to scrap the Metric system as they are leaving the common market that made them adopt the rubbish. The big selling point is that Imperial pints had an extra ounce of beer so more bang for your buck at the pubs.
