Report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services.

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services regarding leased properties being used for short-term lets. Members discussed the options presented in the report and agreed that option two be approved, to raise awareness among residents that the City regards letting of homes in this way is a breach of lease conditions and, following any estate management issues being identified, a staged warning and enforcement process be initiated. Whether action was initiated would be a question of fact and degree in each case. Members noted that staff training would be implemented to support this procedure.

RESOLVED – That Option Two be agreed: to raise awareness among residents that the City regards letting of homes in this way is a breach of lease conditions and, following any estate management issues being identified, a staged warning and enforcement process be initiated.
