I refuse to use Airbnb’s marketing jingo: In the real world this is called attempting to bribe investors within Owners Corporations with COMMISSIONS.
When people bought into a Strata/Company Title building they voted to partake in a Residential Building and a Residential Community – the vote has already been cast.
There’s absolutely nothing stopping investors purchasing into Serviced Apartments buying Hotel shares; that’s where short-term tourists/visitors belong.
Airbnb/Stayz/Expedia et al have absolutely no right to penetrate our homes/properties with short-term lets. Go to NSW Land and Environment Court case law judgements for affirmation on this.
Airbnb will never, ever give up on trying to gain maximum profits from our housing. If it simply means less income spread over millions more Residential Lots/Homes, they’ll take it.
They now have USD31 billion to fly reps around the world plus they have the muscle to get legislators to ‘open doors’. Keep writing to your State MP plus Ministers Keen/Roberts/Dominello.
