Glasgow Airbnb owners and short-term let landlords will need to have licences to rent out their properties in the future after plans for the licences were passed at Holyrood.
The Scottish Government is introducing the licensing scheme for Airbnb-style properties across the country in a bid to achieve a greater balance between the concerns of communities, and the economic and tourism benefits.
Councils will each have to devise a licensing system for short-term rental properties by October, with all operators then required to apply for a licence by July 1, 2024.
