THE leader of City of Edinburgh Council has appeared to back an extension of the deadline for short-term let operators to apply for a licence -…
Cammy Day said that council's position on the deadline remains unchanged - despite suggesting otherwise on BBC Radio Scotland
So far, the council has received just 245 applications out of an estimated 12,000 short-term let properties in the city with many landlords claiming the scheme will decimate their businesses.Radio Scotland: “There’s a low turnout so far. I understand the sector will put the applications in towards the end of September for that date in October.“But if they want to join us in the lobby to ask for an extension to that time then we would be more than happy to have that discussion”.
He said on Twitter/X: “From speaking to industry, I know that there’s nervousness around the 1 October deadline, and they’re lobbying the Minister for this to be extended further, but this is a date set in legislation and we can’t change it. “Landlords have had long enough to apply. It's not tenants fault that they have been complacent and ignored the deadline, but tenants will suffer if it is extended.
