Yes, it’s understood that the council’s lep, dcp or even the particular development consent for the building may actually be the mechanism to limit short term/holiday letting.
I believe Get It Right may not have experienced holiday rentals in any of the beach suburbs and or when it has gone seriously wrong.. Imagine coming home from a hard day at work to find your foyer, stairs or lift coated in beach sand, be kept up all night with partying groups, wake up to go to work and the foyer has been redecorated with vomit, beer/wine bottles, general rubbish left at the front door including those prawn heads… And what can the OC/Strata Manager do about this? Very little because the “tenants” change each couple of days or at most couple of weeks. Sure you can write to the “tenants”, owner and council, but to what effect?
It would be good to do the comparison of with/without holiday letting in a building… I know of two very similar buildings where there is holiday letting occurring in one and not in the other… There is a noticeable difference in the maintenance costs for the cleaning of CP, call outs for the lifts, repairs to the common areas and much more… And who picks up this tab?? All owners in the building are paying for this one owners privilege…Is this how it should work?
