HI All,
I have 2 units in a BC of 32 units. We recently have been notified of an individual who is starting to complain about AirBnB. The main argument the individual has is that there is a security risk involved and that they dont like the additional traffic.
Security seems like a stupid excuse as the complex has fences that children could probably climb over. And the owner should be responsible for ensuring their own security surely?
She is starting to chat to other people within the estate to get on board with her. This person was running a massage therapy business from the unit and was told to stop - I feel that since such she has become vindictive of the body corporate and now finds all little things to pick on. That being said she wants to sell her unit but still try and impose a minimum stay on her unit. I find this very odd...
So - the next step is that BC or planning to put a general vote (requires more than 50% vote) towards imposing a minimum stay on short term rentals which could be 2 or maybe 3 days( 3 days seems silly as guests dont stay friday, saturday and sunday...)
So what are my options?
Should this be considered a general vote (>50%) or a special vote (>75%) or unanimous(100% which I guess wouldn't work as I would vote against and it would not work).
I've been in contact with a few of the units that rent out currently to try and get them to vote against imposing any restrictions.
The restriction is also detrimental to any persons trying to sell their units surely?
I look forward to any advice or responses on this matter?
