    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?
