Despite I and my Scottish Conservatives colleagues opposing the SNP’s plans to regulate short-term lets, which unnecessarily burdens an already struggling tourism industry with more red tape, this legislation has now come into force.
If you are an existing host or operator, and have already been using your property to provide short-term lets prior to 1st October 2022, you have until 1st April 2023 to apply for a licence.
If you are a new host or operator, you cannot take bookings or receive guests until you have a licence.
