Each strata agreement has its own rules. However, the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into the Adequacy of the regulation of short-term holiday letting in New South Wales handed down its report on 19 October 2016. It recommended; Strata owner corporations be given the right to prosecute unruly behavior and damage and recover compensation, but not the right to ban short-term lettings. Strata By-laws cannot ban owner from using their apartment for short-term lettings, because the Strata Law voids any By-laws which prohibit renting out an apartment. Those rules are currently under review and will be updated in the near future.

Cleaning is not included in our fees. However, apart from the initial clean (if you require it) guests will pay for this service and be separately charged for this upon booking your property.
Upon guests departing we do a thorough walkthrough for your properties and look for any damage. If we find any, we raise the issue with the guests for you and deduct the costs from their bond. However, we do advise you to take out separate insurance to cover you for damage that cannot be recuperated from the guests. ShareCover is a good insurance option. We find the policy comprehensive and price effective.
