Question: I have the management rights to manage the short-term letting in the building. Another person in my building is managing a number of apartments and letting them on Airbnb as short term rentals. What are my rights and is this a breach of my letting agreement?
Answer: Each management rights agreement and CMS is different.
This can be a twisty one. Each management rights agreement and CMS is different so it is really important to drill down on exactly what they say with reference to what the person is doing. Nothing can ever really stop anyone renting out their own unit but with Airbnb, there are questions of whether they are actually an agent and whether they are breaching anything in the by-laws, particularly.
