Until the question is judicially considered by a Court, Fair Trading’s ‘advice’ is merely its opinion.

Even if Fair Trading is correct in that that owners can only pursue illegal short-term lets through council, Councils hesitate to get involved and are under no legal obligation to act. Leaving impacted strata owners without any legal or practical remedy.  

And there lies the problem – if your by-law is challenged, you have to go to court. This is now pretty much inevitable.  

It’s a shame Airbnb doesn’t support legal challenges by owners corporations the way they do renters who want to climb aboard the holiday letting gravy train. Ha!
