Council zoning sets out if the apartments can be leased short term or as residential tenancies.. Sydney City Council is now very clear on this.. Serviced apartments – NO RESIDENTIAL LEASES OR OWNER OCCUPIERS.. RESIDENTIAL- No Serviced apartments or stays less than 3 months on residential tenancies..
Google Sydney City Council Vs The Oaks Group
L&E court Orders shut down Oaks running serviced apartments in two Sydney City office buildings..
This is now getting enforced.. Also getting enforced as they move towards kicking owner occupiers out of serviced apartments..
unfortunately it is the satelite style serviced apartment operations who cause more trouble and are harder to police in comparison to large and reputable operators..
