New Council License Mandatory For Short Term Lets In Scotland Will Need Pat Testing

Council short-term let licences:

​

From 1 October 2022 the law around short-term lets is changing.

From this date, if you use accommodation to offer short-term lets in Scotland you’ll need to apply for a licence from your local council.

​

Types of short-term let licence: 

​

There are 4 types of licence: 

​

  • 'home sharing' means you rent out all or part of your own home while you’re living there 

  • 'home letting' means letting all or part of your own home while you’re not there, for example while you're on holiday 

  • 'secondary letting' means letting a property where you do not normally live, for example a second home or holiday let 

  • 'home letting and home sharing' means you let out all or part of your own home both while you are living there and also at times when you're not there 

​

Portable Appliance Testing Report:

​

You must arrange for a qualified person to produce a Portable Appliance Testing Report on moveable appliances your guests have access to. For example a TV or an alarm clock.

​
