View submission: STL final boss
I wouldn't even say it's working for new ones unless, as you say, people are reporting them. There's no capacity for enforcement otherwise so you have operators simply continuing to advertise/rent out even after planning has been refused, and the council have no clue. There are a good few new ones around me I've reported (and one finally seems to have given up) but so many are getting away with it.

Fair point; I was focused on the ones listing legally; I'm assuming the likes of AirBnB just assume permissions in place rather than actual vetting?
I also read a post on another forum about a 'workaround' where the landlord lists a legal property, then pulls a 'bait and switch' to swap the renter to an unlisted property so even a complaint to the platform isn't enough as the property isn't even listed.
