Check if you need a short-term let licence

You may need a short-term let licence if you’re letting out accommodation to guests who stay temporarily.

Use this tool to check:

• if you need a short-term let licence
• what type of licence you should apply for

If you need a licence, you'll need to visit the local council's website to apply.

Before you start

You’ll need to answer questions about:

• the type of accommodation
• when you’ll let the accommodation out
• your relationship to the guests
• whether you’ll charge the guests money
• whether you and the guest will live in the accommodation
