Swinging the rules in favour of renters by Labor is little more than an extension of the Bereklijian-Perrottet days.
Take a landlord WITH a reason to terminate a lease. She finds her renters have gone on holiday and are pocketing dough from having listed the property on Air B&B and the premises, she is told by neighbours, is occupied unlawfully. Travelers are living the high life without the landlord’s knowledge let alone consent.
Under the 90 days rule, even if adhered to by the renters, exposes the landlord and the OC to possibly countless insurance claims because the insurance policies in place in most cases do not allow for such short term holiday rentals. Not to mention that leasing via STHL is a breach of the standard lease agreement.
Overhauling regulations that are considered “bad” is always welcome, but both (not one) side(s) of the transaction must be protected from “bad” behaviour.
Landlords do not have a monopoly on acting in their self interest.
