It’s pretty easy to find a place to stay in London on Airbnb or one of its competitors that rent rooms or entire homes to tourists.

But chances are it’s not legal.

On Monday, U.K. lawmakers proposed to change a rule that bars Londoners from renting out their homes for under 90 days. Instead, lawmakers have flipped it and proposed that London residents can rent out their home, short-term, for up to 90 days a year, which they hope will quell concerns from local neighborhood councils that fear the creation of mini hotels in residential areas.

Airbnb has received a warmer embrace in London than in some other cities. The company faced fines in Barcelona and is under investigation in New York, where the state attorney general is targeting hosts with 10 or more listings for breaking a law that says apartments can’t be fully rented out for less than 30 days.

In London, however, politicians hoping to burnish their tech credentials have been saying that the U.K. needs to open its arms and embrace the so-called “sharing economy,” the term for the growing trend of leasing or renting out parking spaces, rooms or products. Airbnb and other companies have been lobbying for some time to get the changes through, company officials said.

Peter Huntingford, Airbnb’s public affairs manager for Europe, said he the proposed changes were great news for Londoners. Currently, Londoners renting out their flats could be fined £20,000 ($30,500).

The changes in London could be another small victory for home-sharing sites, many of which have started over the last few years, some targeting niche markets. In December, Airbnb reached an agreement with authorities in Amsterdam to collect a 5% tourist tax on rentals there.
