Warning to Investors:

With the popularity of Airbnb and particularly in fantastic lifestyle destinations, we thought it timely to advise investors that there are some unscrupulous tenants in the local marketplace permanently renting properties and then on-leasing them on Airbnb.  Clearly, permanent rental prices are less than short-term stay rates, thus the tenants are making a tidy profit.

These tenants generally have excellent references, are very presentable and are able to demonstrate they can afford the rent; therefore, their application is usually approved by owners or property managers – it all looks good on paper.  These people are making a living out of the owners’ property in a deceptive manner, that is in breach of their tenancy agreement.

It is critical that you entrust your investment to a Property Management Department that goes above and beyond to ensure your property not only has quality tenants who will respect your property and pay their rent on time; but also actually inhabit the property themselves, as per their General Tenancy Agreement.

Our Property Management team has a special clause in our General Tenancy Agreement to ensure you are protected against this type of practice.  If you would like to know more, please contact us to have a chat.
