MELAKA: Short-term rentals, especially at stratified properties, in the state will now require a licence, says Datuk Zaidi Attan.

The Melaka Housing, Local Government and Environment Committee chairman said the move to regulate operations of such activities followed concerns on the issue that were raised during the state legislative assembly on Thursday (Dec 15).
