Crackdown on short-term holiday rentals coming By Jonathon Howard
THE CRACKDOWN on unruly short-term holiday rentals across the Tweed Shire is coming in the form of a new mandatory code of conduct from early December, which includes a twostrike provision via NSW Fair Trading. Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson joined Member for Tweed Geoff Provest to announce the new code on Tuesday, October 27. Minister Anderson said the code includes clear guidance and obligations for hosts and guests “centred on minimum standards of good behaviour”. The launch of the short-term rental accommodation code will impact both hosts, guests, letting agents and online booking platforms such as Airbnb being subject to strict new laws with a mandatory code of conduct for the industry. Also included are formal avenues for complaints and dispute resolution, and the ability for NSW Fair Trading to ban problematic hosts or anti-social guests from booking short-term rentals for five years. “The popularity of short-term rentals has exploded in recent years and is now a $30 billion

a year industry,” Mr Anderson said. “While the sector has gone from strength to strength, what has been missing is a clear set of rules to protect the rights of both hosts, guests and neighbours, and which put mutual respect front and centre. “The NSW Government is introducing these laws as part of our broad reform of the sector. “Together, they will ensure the minority of participants who are giving the sector a bad name

are removed and the short-term rental sector is improved for hosts, guests and communities.” Mr Anderson said a key feature of the new laws was the establishment of an exclusion register, which will introduce a ‘two strikes and you’re out’ policy for unruly guests. “We have all heard the horror stories of hosts doing the wrong thing or the house guests from hell behaving disgracefully in holiday rentals,” Mr Anderson said.
“If you are going to carry on like that in someone else’s house or neighbourhood, be warned – under these new rules you will be banned, and for a very long time. “The standards are enforceable, with powers available to [the] NSW Fair Trading Commissioner to take disciplinary action, including penalties and exclusion from the industry for repeat offenders.” All participants, including booking platforms, will be
