Hi KayJ
You’ve skirted around my questions, as do all the short-term let operators in my building:
By-Laws?
Strata Roll?
Development Approval?
Loan Conditions?
Critically – Building Insurance Terms & Conditions?
Zoning here is for: ‘Permanent Residential Accommodation Only and not for the purposes of a hotel, motel, serviced apartment, tourist accommodation or the like’.
When chatting to those staying short-term, one simple question is: “Where’s home?” Their reply is never: “Here.”
How then can short-term letting be deemed as meeting our DA?
I don’t want to live in a Hotel amongst hotel guests. I purchased into a ‘Residential’ building with the intention of using the building as my home, and that’s how I treat it. And I treat my fellow residents, be they owner/occupiers or tenants, as members of my community.
It upsets me no end when I find things like used condoms thrown around the common property of my building. But then I’ve no absolute proof that one of my fellow residents didn’t do this; I’m just assuming it was a short-stay individual. This sort of thing goes a long way in demonstrating the differences in the level of respect for our property and the people who live here.
Do you live in a Residential building where there’s a large amount of short-tem letting? Or do you just profit from short-term letting?
