2012 Olympic short term landlords 'could face fines' - but NOT in Haringey

The BBC today reports that Londoners hoping to rent out their homes during the Olympics are being warned they could be breaking the law and left facing a fine.

BBC London has uncovered stark variations in councils' positions on the practice.

Some have warned they will crack down on people renting out properties - but others have said it is not a problem.

Apparently, Londoners face a postcode lottery as to whether they can rent out their homes for the games.

Juzar Jeevanjee lives in Haringey, one of the areas where the council has said it will not crack down on people letting out their homes.

He said: "Obviously there's a huge opportunity for earning extra money here with lots coming in for the Olympics who can't afford hotels.

"From what agents have told me, I could double or triple what I could get at the moment, so it could be happy times."
