Appeal Tribunal Upholds By-Law Banning Short Term Letting
Article by Jason Carlson, Partner - Grace Lawyers

You have been told time and time again that a body corporate cannot make a by-law banning short term letting or Airbnb within its strata community.

 

But a strata community we have been working with closely for almost two years put in place a by-law prohibiting lettings of less than one month as a means of protecting the special residential amenity of their community. 

The by-law was overturned when the lot owner challenged it in the Commissioner’s Office.  The strata community was successful in its appeal, and its by-law has been validated.

The reasons given by the appeal tribunal give a most compelling case for why a body corporate’s power to make by-laws is robust, and rightly so.

So if the by laws are the fourth layer of government for strata, is social etiquette the fifth?
