What I don’t get about these new proposed laws, are these just for Airbnb bookings or other short term booking agencys.. As Airbnb ain’t the only player in the share economy eg homeaway and wimbdu…
Also as they only say 180-days, home owners can rent out there rooms in there apartments privately and then what?
It seems stratas wanna ban all short-term stays, and it is futile in these modern rapid global-population moving times. Australia’s population is growing, these new laws appear pointless and futile and everyone will weasel around em.. It’s a bit like smoking laws and alochol rules about where you can drink and prostitution, all restricitions mostly are futile.. eg-Teenage smoking, they don’t smoke at home, but then go and smoke in a park or in a train station, or if lockout laws come in people will just go to a liqour store and drink at home, or if an illegal brothel is closed down in one suburb clients will just go to the illegal brothel in the next door suburb…
These rules are pointless, and stratas are often ineffective anyway despite the new strata rules in NSW and OC’s for that matter to..
