Hello.
Im looking for ideas to retort negative opions of airbnb.
NSW, (Australia) law is currently under review for airbnb. The council in Sydney has given a positive view of airbnb.
However Strata companies and some members are determined to prevent Airbnb.
Strata staff often harrass tenants from airbnb using the security guard to bang on their door at night.
One main reason is the conception that short term letting places more demand and wear and tear on common property.
Another is that short term residents are bad, noisy or undesirable people that will annoy other residents.
How to do combat this ridiculious idea? There is no proof that these ideas are true or factual at all.
They have become common ideas to throw at airbnb users to bring residents to the anti airbnb camp.
In fact after many years of property letting airbnb has provided some of the most respectful people as residents and not short term.
The review system helps.
What else could I say to convince others of this. Airbnb guests are not criminals, noisy, undesirable and particualrily they dont use common property more than any one esle! The pool or other areas are only used on a per person, (never overcrowded) per days per year. If numbers are fixed then its the same for short or long term or airbnb or non airbnb.
Long term tenants can be just as noisy as any others
Thank you
