"This call for evidence seeks insight and information in the following areas:

• changes and growth in the short-term letting market
• benefits of short term lets
• challenges, including compliance with the existing regulatory framework and housing and community impacts
• the impact of potential policy responses

Together, questions in each of these areas are designed to ensure firstly that the government develops a fuller understanding of the current market, and secondly that future policy responses are proportionate and evidence-based."
