Enable Councils to stop drugs parties in short term lets, eg AirBnB, Booking.com
Where a short term let is used for one or more drugs parties Councils should be empowered to be able to shut down the short term let and impose fines should the short term letting continue to operate.
At the moment AirBnB and Booking.com present a loophole, whereby Councils are often unable to act decisively.
Drugs parties are not only illegal but dangerous. As such Council should have strong powers to bring such lettings to an end.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government has said that it will prevent short-term lets importing anti-social behaviour into communities, such as noise problems or drunken and disorderly behaviour. It has said that it will do this by setting up a new registration scheme giving local authorities the data to easily identify short-term lets in their area, and that if a let proves problematic, they can take action against guests and owners.
