Question: In our small strata, a new owner permanently lets their unit as Airbnb, with all the pitfalls. Was this addressed in the coming legislation changes?
We live in a residential six unit strata scheme. A new owner permanently lets their unit as Airbnb, with all the pitfalls. We’ve been told there is nothing we can do to stop this. We were hoping the new reforms would support permanent rentals and owner occupiers. Has this been overlooked?
Answer: Other government agencies regulate short-term letting, such as local Council.
The new legislation does not address the situation with AirBnB or other short-term letting. Having said that, remember there are other government agencies that regulate short-term letting, such as local Council. You may want to make enquiries with them to see if they can assist, as many local authorities around the world have been moving to regulate short-term letting.
