@Ross-And-Lorrraine0...As you are new to hosting you are probably not aware of the implications of short term rental of a property.
Off the top, Landlords and property managers will FORBID short term rental because you void their building insurance! The reason for this is that you have altered the scope of coverage that the insurance company accepted when they issued a policy.
Secondly long term tenants will treat and keep the property much as they would if it was their own, and statistically there is a higher risk to the property with short term renting than with long term rental.
There are specific insurance companies that offer long term rental insurance to Landlords...Terri Sheer is a probably the major one in Australia but they will not cover short term rental insurance.
Thirdly Landlords go through a considerable verification process before they agree to let their property to a tenant. With short term rental in their property they have no idea or no way of verifying who is in their property at any given time, and this is a risk all Landlords are not prepared to take.
@Ross-And-Lorrraine0, you can fight them on this but it won't do you any good I am afraid! We see this scenario every day on every continent and the regulations are basically the same everywhere.
And even Airbnb will tell you that it is your responsibility to ensure that you have all necessary approvals to short term rent before hosting! It is not up to ABB, it is up to you!
Even property 'owners' who short term host will have their property insurance cancelled if an insurance company finds out short term rental is taking place in their insured space. Although, here in Australia there are a number of companies who do offer short term rental insurance but I have no idea how these companies sit with building landlords, they appear to be more geared to individual property owners.
I wish I could give some better news guys but you are not on your own here. Many thousands of hosts who rent properties around the world are faced with the same thing, and I am afraid the landlord has the right to force you to stop.
Cheers.....Rob
