No need for a bed register, property investment expert says

from Checkpoint

A property investment expert says councils could crack down on short term holiday rentals right now if they wanted to and there's no need for a bed register. Checkpoint spoke to a Christchurch councillor who is campaigning for a nations wide bed register; to make it easier to track Airbnb's and other short-term rentals. The register would force platforms to share data, like addresses and the number of nights it's being rented. Economist Ed McKnight from property investment company Opes Partners spoke to Lisa Owen.
