SUMMARY:Short Term Lets: Hanging by a thread
DESCRIPTION:Edinburgh’s Judicial Review is critical for the whole of Scotland’s self-catering industry and the wider Tourism Sector. \nThe Judicial Team\, together with industry experts will cover the latest news\, and exciting updates. \nThis is a MUST ATTEND free session to help you safeguard your business. \nIf you have self-catering properties\, or run a business supported by self-catering guests\, you will be affected by the current legislation. \nAGENDA: \n1.
