A smart strata scheme wishing to deter Short-term Holiday Lets might invite their insurer to increase premiums to cover the risk created by STHLs and then pass the increased fee on to the hosts.
So if the insurance company requires extra security measures to mitigate their increased risk can these expenses be charged to the owners of units that engage in STHLs?
E.g. installation of CCTV and ongoing costs? Cost of replacement of security cards each time a new tenant rents the property after each rental?
After all these cards can be easily copied and used to gain access at a later date, possibly for nefarious purposes.
Maybe with a little creative thinking there could be ways to assign specific costs to landlords of STHL residences?
and the amount of time the concierge has to spend on Airbnb guest issues
Surely a simple sign referring these guests to their landlord and that it is not a matter that will be handled by the concierge should suffice?
A reminder that they are trespassing if they then fail to leave and that police/security will be called would set the scene that they need to deal with the correct person.
Details of unruly tenants and their landlord or unit number should be maintained and put on the minutes of each OC meeting so that correct records are kept of emerging and ongoing issues.
