Are short stay tenants any different to long stay tenants when it comes to having to notify the body corporate of who they are and the penalties which can apply under the bylaws if information is not provided within 2 weeks. At present for short stay tenancies no information is supplied to the various body corporates and a series of $500 fines to the owner would I suspect slow down or stop the Airbnb rot.
Also have any body corporates gone down the user pays path and had separate rules for short stay tenants for use of facilities with the additional charges having to be met by the relevant owner?
Short stay tenants are a disaster for most buildings, they contribute nothing, decrease amenity and increase costs and the challenge will be to find a way of costing and then imposing the real costs on the users which will remove the current super profits from the various schemes or at the least reduce the imposition.
