\nURA received mixed reviews during an earlier public consultation and will continue to study the matter carefully.
\nGiven the mixed results of the public consultation earlier this year, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has commissioned a research firm to conduct a more detailed survey of Singaporeans\u2019 views on short-term accommodation, reported the Straits Times.
\nURA explained that the results of the survey will complement feedback obtained from stakeholders via the public consultation exercise and meetings conducted earlier in the year.

\nURA received mixed views during the public consultation with some saying that the proposed regulations were overly stringent, while others felt that \u201ctighter regulations were needed, especially to address the concerns of those who might not be willing to have their residential apartments let out for short-term accommodation\u201d.
\n\u201cWe will continue to study the matter carefully, before deciding on the next steps forward,\u201d said a URA spokesperson.
\nNational Development Minister Lawrence Wong had earlier said in Parliament that new laws allowing for Airbnb-style stays are unlikely to be implemented anytime soon.
\nIn fact, the three-month minimum stay for private housing remains applicable, he said in response to questions relating to the ongoing review of a proposed framework for regulating short-term rents of private homes.
\nAmong the proposals made was to allow private housing to be used for short-term stays for up to 90 days, provided owners who hold 80 percent of the share value consent to the change.
\nWong revealed that the public consultation ended in May with mixed feedback.
