The growth of short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb has created new opportunities for owners, but it has also introduced complex legal, governance and practical challenges for sectional title schemes. Questions around conduct rules, owner rights, security, nuisance, and the enforceability of short-term rental restrictions continue to generate uncertainty among trustees and residents alike.
In this webinar, we are joined by Marina Constas from BBM Law to unpack the legal framework governing short-term rentals in sectional title schemes, including what the law says, when a body corporate can regulate or restrict Airbnb-style letting, and how conduct rules can be applied fairly and lawfully. We also explored recent developments, common misconceptions, and practical considerations for balancing individual ownership rights with the interests of the wider community.
Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, trustees, owners and managing agents will gain a clearer understanding of their rights, responsibilities and the steps they can take to manage short-term rentals effectively within their schemes.
