I was disappointed to read the comments about short term letting. There are many areas in NSW where apartment buildings have been built to provide for people who want to holiday on the coast or elsewhere but don’t want to stay in a motel or holiday house …
The problem is not buildings that were clearly intended to have short-term rentals or have a long history of having allowed them – it’s the residential buildings that have been invaded by opportunist parasites of the ‘party flat’ trade.
I think there is a place for holiday rentals like yours and good on you for making it work. But if the ‘party flat’ industry is going to hide behind holiday rentals as a way of perpetuating their seedy trade, then it is them that you should be attacking, not those apartment residents who simply want to be able to live in the peace and quiet they are promised when they buy or rent their residential apartments in buildings that were never intended for short-term lets.
