Dozens of people have applied to run short-term lets in Dundee after new rules came into force.

Since October 1, those running short-term lets in Scotland, including holiday rentals and Airbnbs, need to hold a licence.

Operating without one is a criminal offence and those caught could be hit with a £2,500 fine and a one-year ban from applying for a licence and offering lets.

In the latest batch of applications, nearly 90 people have asked Dundee City Council for a licence to run short-term lets, following the change in the law.

The local authority has confirmed these are a mix of new applications and properties that have already been running as holiday lets.

The applications include properties at City Quay, Baxter Park and Broughty Ferry esplanade.

There are different types of short-term lets being applied for:

  • Home sharing – where someone uses all or part of their own home for a short-term let while living there
  • Home letting – where all or part of someone’s house is let out while the owner is absent, for example while they are on holiday
  • Secondary letting – where a property someone does not normally live in, such as a second home, is rented out

The raft of applications comes as one flat owner at City Quay is appealing to the Scottish Government after being refused planning permission to run a holiday let.
