Can I let my apartment to someone for the next 4 months?

Until something is done to address the concerns of small time landlords, the amount of empty properties will continue to rise and that scenario benefits no one.

I agree. The current way in which landlords are treated is deeply flawed. The assumption is that they are greedy and willing to break the law whereas tenants are all powerless exploited victims.

Well an update.
They have moved in already. Everything going smoothly so far. They are going to stay for 4.5 months and have paid for that up front. I told them that if their house is delayed we can extend month to month for as long as they like. They are happy with that.
Im going to do airbnb (not actually on airbnb but the same as airbnb) then after that. I'll do anything not to have to deal with regular renting and all the risk that brings with it.
