Here at St Anns Quay our lease forbids short term letting (ie less than 6 months) and over the years we have and will continue to pursue anyone breaching the lease in this way through the legal system.
In the light of “Operation Sanctuary, local police have alerted us of our need to be especially vigilant around this issue.
Across the city, apartment complexes just like ours have been used for criminal purposes. We have been made aware of drug related issues here in at least one apartment in the past, sadly not leading to a conviction but we will always report any illegal activity to the police, and of course if you are renting out your apartment as a “hotel alternative” on a nightly or weekend basis, aside from being a breach of the lease, it is much more likely that criminal activity will take place.

Just to reiterate, anyone short term letting is in breach of their lease and we will ensure that legal processes will be applied and ultimately the lease may be forfeited. St Anns is a premium residential development, not a student block or a “party destination”
