Any law breakers out there?

      Why, do you own a hotel? I'm sure if it was convenient for your situation you would change your tune.

      • Because the Vast majority 75% approx is existing Rental stock being taken off the market
        Being a lead cause in Housing affordability and supply

  • Having travelled a bit, in the last few years, I prefer AirBnB over hotel rooms. The only hassle tends to be key handover. I can see why they would can it at the moment.

        Yeah you are right, seems to be constantly changing, half an hour ago, the title was:

        NSW government cracks down on holidaymakers, bans on Airbnb stays

        Now it's just:

        NSW government cracks down on holidaymakers, threatens fines

  • There are exceptions for getting an Airbnb, e.g getting out of a DV situation, or if your home is not habitable or if you're studying or working away from home.

    QUOTE from Domain.com

    The exemptions include if they’re having to stay in short-term accommodation for work, to take care of someone or to stay in one for their education.

    • Thanks Scrim, the article was originally published without the exemptions
