    And if there's a facility to report them neighbours will report them.

    There will be plenty of squealers if the facilities are there. A full list of registered bnbs can be put on line and anyone who sees a holiday letting can check if it is registered. All registered ones would have to have a specific bank account the money goes into. Plenty of spot checking and auditing plus massive fine and a lifetime ban would soon put a stop to it.

    I also think this might be a populist play...will buy the government alittle more time as it gives the impression they are doing things. I still maintain it's a good thing but I'm not sure how much impact it will have on the current housing shortage and rental costs.

    They have been at that for years. rent controls, rapid build etc. etc. The problem has kept getting worse.

    Heard on radio debate during week that air bnbs account for approx 0.6% of housing units. Thus all a big fanfare for the government to portray active remediation of the housing crisis which will achieve feck all.

    How many housing units are there? How more any are needed? Is the number needed greater or lesser that 0.6% of the number existing housing units. If the number is greater, then by how much?
