The Victorian Greens have welcomed the City of Melbourne's decision to regulate short-stay accommodation, but say councils shouldn't be forced to take things into their own hands.

They say stronger regulations would free up more homes to be used as secure long-term rentals or for owner-occupiers, rather than as income streams for property investors.
