Statement from Council Leader Cammy Day ahead of the deadline for short-term lets license applications.
With the deadline for applying for short-term let license for existing operators less than 48 hours away, I would urge everyone who is yet to apply to visit our website and follow the necessary steps. Over the weekend we will be putting extra resources to manage the expected high volume of applications.
On Monday (October 2) the Regulatory Committee will be considering our approach to enforcement in the city.
We’re committed to ensuring that everyone benefits from Edinburgh’s thriving visitor economy, but this must be managed, and it has to be sustainable – and these fair and effective short term let controls are an important step in the right direction.
