Alas, I suspect this won’t work.
A leading Sydney Barrister who is heavily involved in all things Strata has said that the Lot owner is inviting the ‘guest’ to the building and into the Lot so the ‘guest’ has the right to cross and use common property to access the Lot.
To interfere in any way would probably expose oneself to charges of harassment etc.
And the State Government, should they cave in to the City of Sydney’s recommendations that short-term lets be deemed ‘exempt development’, will have to explain away the City of Sydney’s successfull arguments in the NSW Land and Environment Court and the Court’s repeated and consistent judgments that mixing short-term lets with permanent residents is “fundamentally incompatible”.
What are the chances of the State Government giving equal access to our Residential Housing to the Gaming and Liquor and Sex Industries? Why limit short-lets of housing to Airbnb/Stayz/their clones?
