My home became an illegal Airbnb lockdown battlezone: Landlord was told it was a quiet rental - then watched as 50 police fought to evict 160 partygoers trashing his house



Tim Pritchard (inset top), 55, hoped that renting out his three-storey North London home on short-term letting agency Airbnb while he was away would cover the cost of a short break to see friends in Spain. So when he was contacted by 'Josh', a 24-year-old graduate who said he needed somewhere to sleep while visiting relatives for three days, and who transferred over the £400 payment via Airbnb, Tim left the country believing his home was in safe hands. But on the second day of his trip, he was sent footage of 50 police trying to break up a party attended by more than 160 people at his home (pictured, and bottom inset alcohol bottles left behind in Tim's home). This shocking incident, made possible on short-term letting platforms, is claimed to be causing unseen damage to Covid-19 infection rates.
