Less than 20 per cent of short-term lets in Edinburgh have sought planning consent six months on from the introduction of new rules, according to councillors.
The capital became a 'control area' for short-term letting in September meaning anyone using an entire property for Airbnb-style accommodation needs to make an application to the council's planning department.
It forms part of a wider crackdown on holiday lets by the authority, with all hosts required to also seek a licence by October - and have one in place by July next year.
