Chances are you have heard of Airbnb, the online property letting service connecting those who have spare rooms, houses or other spaces with guests looking for a place to stay.
Private short-term letting can have a negative impact on a body corporate including increased noise, illegal parking, overuse of shared facilities such as pools and gyms, nuisance, damage to common property and safety and security issues. If you own a unit, can you:
- be stopped from letting your unit via Airbnb?
- stop your tenants from listing a spare room for rent on Airbnb?
