A quick note to an earlier post: If two ‘call girls’ want to live in a block they should have the same rights as two lawyers renting an apartment. If the girls want to turn their residential apartment into a brothel – a commercial use – then Council should/would have something to say about it.
If residential apartment blocks are used for commercial short-term, hotel-style lettings, then all the legitimate hotels/serviced apartment operators should be mightely agrieved – they pay for and have far superior fire/safety systems installed and they pay much, much higher insurance premiums.
The short-term operators in residential properties are running shonky businesses, lot owners’ insurance is VOID and lot owners have UNLIMITED liability. Consider that, and ask: is short-term letting realy worth risking the financial viability of all lot owners?
