Short-term lets – licensing scheme and planning control areas: consultation analysis
Report on the Scottish Government’s short term lets: consultation on a licensing scheme and planning control areas in Scotland which ran from 14 September to 16 October 2020.
Annex C - Revised Mandatory Licence Conditions
Schedule 3 of the Licensing Order sets out the mandatory conditions with which a short-term let host must comply. The host will make a self-declaration in respect of some of these conditions on the application form. Others may require verification and this might be done by requesting photos or documentary evidence of compliance, or carrying out a physical inspection of the accommodation. We anticipate that local authorities may want to take the following approach but we will cover this in more detail in guidance:
