MC and JMB prohibit short term stay

[Nik-Aznee-Felina0]

As you may know, condominiums in Malaysia are generally prohibited from operating homestays. Both my Management Corporation (MC) and Joint Management Body (JMB) prohibit short-term rentals. I've been searching for a tenant, but unfortunately, it seems there’s no interest in renting the unit at this time.

I believe they're monitoring this situation by sending a spy on Airbnb. I received a few messages asking whether is it ABC Condominium (not a real name). They even requested to come and check the unit before they make any booking.  If I'm caught, I could definitely face a fine.

I really need to operate this homestay to help pay my housing loan, as I am currently unemployed.

I'm sorry to hear you are unemployed but it's a high risk strategy for you to put your apartment up for short term rental when you know it's prohibited @Nik-Aznee-Felina0 

What channels have you used to try and find long term tenants ?
