I rented my furnished cottage on Airbnb for a 6-week stay to a local. They stopped paying after week 4, refuse to leave, and are citing the Rent Regulations requiring a 3-month eviction notice. How do I bypass the Rent Board for a short-term let?
I rely on short-stay income in Marlborough. A guest booked a long stay, but now claims that because they stayed past 30 days, they are legally a 'tenant' under Zimbabwean law, not a 'guest.' They know the court eviction process takes a year. I need a lawyer to explain how the Lodgers Act applies here and if I can legally change the locks or call the police for trespassing.
