More than 30 new applications have been lodged to run holiday lets in Dundee.
New rules came into force in Scotland on October 1, meaning those who run short-term lets – including Airbnbs – need to hold a licence.
Operating without one is a criminal offence and anyone caught could be hit with a £2,500 fine and handed a ban.
The rules coming into force prompted nearly 90 applications to the local authority for licences in October.
Now a fresh raft of applications has been lodged with the council for properties across the city.
Some of the properties have already been run as holiday or short-term lets.
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
