Rogue Airbnb hosts have been accused of trying to earn a quick buck by ignoring lockdown rules as a KentOnline investigation reveals they are renting rooms out for illegal breaks.
Posing as a holidaymaker from London, our reporter Jack Dyson asked 45 of the websiteâs landlords across the Canterbury district if they would allow him to stay in their properties for a weekend getaway.
Such breaks are currently illegal under government coronavirus restrictions, unless for essential reasons.
But despite being told his two-night trip was purely for pleasure, 11 owners gave our man the green light, with some offering reduced prices and even admitting they have allowed others to holiday in the area.
