AS the number of short-term lets in Scotland is on the rise, a tenants’ union has created an app they believe will change the housing landscape.
He told The National that the app “aims to give members of the public a say over their communities” in making it easier to object to new short-term lets in their area. “The response to the tool underlines how important it is – this is something that members of the public were already in theory able to do, but the enormous uptake of the tool underlines how inaccessible that process would have otherwise been.”The scheme has faced backlash from landlords and other short-term lets operators, who have argued that the scheme will have a significant impact on their livelihoods.
He continued: “Their extreme response – comparing the tool to Hitler, comparing regulation of short-term lets to pogroms or the Clearances – just shows how desperately this industry needs to be regulated. Meanwhile, valid applications have been highest in Na h-Eileanan Siar , Highland , Dumfries and Galloway and Orkney .October 3, 2023
