An Airbnb host who rented out his central London council
flat to tourists has been fined £100,000 and evicted. Council tenant Toby
Harman, 37, created the fake identity "Lara" on Airbnb to rent out
his studio apartment. The flat, in Victoria, had been advertised since 2013 and
received more than 300 reviews, Westminster City Council said. Anti-fraud
software had found Harman's first name in reviews and connected the listing to
him. Harman's bank statements showed he had been receiving payments from Airbnb
for a number of years. Read more on the BBC website.
