I think as long as you are using one of our later tenancy agreements which allow consent for a “home business” you should be okay.
A “home business” is defined as:
But, it must not involve the consumption of alcohol from the premises and so that must be part of any consent you give.
Have a read of this article about the new legislation and if satisfied a b&b falls into it (which I think it does) then I see no problem.
Our latest tenancy agreements contain the appropriate clauses that would allow you to give consent and be protected from becoming a commercial tenancy.
Just make sure the consent you give includes appropriate conditions. For example, it must be for holidays only and no permanent residence by the customers.
