The issue of AirBnB short-term lets in Scotland’s capital has been prevalent to residents for years and the SNP have promised to tackle the problem if elected to power in May’s elections.
Those in charge of the party have said that the properties could be used to tackle Edinburgh’s housing crisis if they were placed back onto the residential market.
SNP council leader Adam McVey said: “We simply can’t go on with thousands of properties that were built as homes being run as hotels.”
