Billen Ben,
This is just the issue, and it is partly being discussed in the Holiday & Short-term rentals thread… The strata act is not designed to control this issue, but the Council should be proactively managing these issues. The council, when and if they choose to do something can fine owners instantly, and I have seen them take owners to the Land & Environment Court. Otherwise this is a Residential Tenancy matter, in that the lessee has breached the lease etc. The question does get raised, what happened to the regular tenancy inspections?? If the owner/property manager is clever about it, they use to be able to get 4 inspections in during a year. This would surely go a long way to catching this before it got so out of hand.
