Long term rental Cornwall

[Adam784]

We are new to this and one of the first enquiries wants to rent for a year!

I am fairly sure that this requires a tenancy agreement and not simply AirBNB.

Does anyone know the rules please?

Thanks

Adam

@Adam784  be careful sometimes this is a scam and they seem to target new listing if u are new only accept short rental for a start till u feel confident and foolproof to accept longer stay.

I agree with @Marie82.  It may be a scam but even if not until you have been a host for a while I would not take a long term booking.  Not sure about the legal side but I would have thought you would feel you would want some sort of tenancy agreement for a year anyway.  You might be better to check that out with Airbnb.

Many thanks both. I must admit that as I began to probe him his story changed slightly so I was less happy, and I too felt that a tenancy agreement would be more appropriate to protect us both.

I think it's a "no" to him 🙂

Thanks again.
