Hi first time committee member of 2 in 8 unit block

 

Can short term, say one night or weekend users of apartments, be classified as tenants.

 

If so, will they under the new NSW legistration have to register and will  the $500 + apply (See this post on tenant representation).

Hi JG

Quoting the NCAT:  “Those occupying premises under short term tourist or visitor accommodation agreements (such as Airbnb etc) the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (RTA) does not apply: see, particularly, Section 7 and section 8(h) of the RTA.”

Hope this helps

This confirms what VCAT ruled in the recent Watergate case in Melbourne – short-term sub-lets are not residential letting agreements, they are a “licence”.
