Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to make regulations on requirements for short-term property lets under the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023.

In 2023 the Government consulted on a registration scheme for short-term lets. Parliament then legislated for such a scheme in the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023. We are committed to the introduction of such a scheme as soon as possible.

We are now in the initial phase of digital development, which will enable us to test and refine the possible options for design and delivery of the scheme. We will set out further detail on how the scheme will work as soon as practicable, including a full response to the consultation, as well as further information on the legislative process that will bring the scheme to life.
