The NSW government has announced new regulations governing short
term letting for online accommodation platforms such as Airbnb and
HomeAway (formerly Stayz). With the short term rental market
booming, it's important for all parties involved in home
sharing to understand their rights.
I've handled many cases which have involved conflict between
neighbours and property owners over short term holiday letting.
Personally affecting residents and their homes, these disputes can
quickly escalate and make life very unpleasant for all
involved.
Law governing short term letting to be clarified
The new regulations governing short term letting in NSW will
serve to clarify the law, which had been poorly defined prior to
the introduction of this regulatory framework.
