    I think I know the answer to this question, but what opinions do readers have have about a Special By-Law preventing (ideally) or at least placing conditions on sub-tenancy arrangements in toto, that is irrespective of whether it’s Housing NSW or anyone else? 

    I think the answer is right here in the Act …

    49   Restrictions on by-laws

    (1) By-law cannot prevent dealing relating to lot
    No by-law is capable of operating to prohibit or restrict the devolution of a lot or a transfer, lease, mortgage, or other dealing relating to a lot.

    This is the same clause that short-term renters and over-crowders use to try get round efforts to restrict the way apartments are rented.  You may find it’s one of the clauses heavily modified in the next round of legislation, give how sweeping its effects might be.
