On Wednesday 24th October a Committee of MSPs voted to bring
"short term letting" of dwelling houses under the control
of the Planning Regime.
There are additional proposals by a number of MSPs to introduce
a separate licensing regime for short term property lets and draft
legislation has been given to the Scottish Ministers on the
subject.
At this point there is still a lot of detail to be worked
through on how these additional controls would work in
practice.
For example would letting a property for less than
three months require a licence and what properties would be
caught by a licensing regime (e.g. Student Housing)?
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
