Short-term rental hosts in North Laine are subject to England's 90-night annual limit for whole-property lets without planning permission. Properties exceeding this threshold require a C5 short-term let use class consent from Brighton and Hove City Council. Hosts must also meet gas safety, electrical and smoke alarm standards. Houst guides every new host through the compliance checklist before going live. See our Brighton short-term rental rules guide for the full breakdown.
