## Resource

A property owner in Edinburgh learned the hard way that short-term let licenses don’t transfer with property sales — a costly mistake that led to a temporary license after operating unlicensed for years. The council’s licensing convener clarified that licenses are personal, not property-based, and sellers must inform buyers. Facing neighbor complaints over noise and overcrowding, the owner offered to cap guests at three and enforce a minimum stay, backed by proof of primary residence. The committee granted a one-year license instead of the requested three, incorporating his conditions to bring the property into compliance. The license kicks in 28 days after the hearing — a reminder that understanding short-term rental rules is non-negotiable for buyers, sellers, and operators alike.
