Verve Suites @ Mont Kiara was completed back in 2013 (link), so my guess is that by then, the owner demographics would've stabilised between the own-stayers and investors until the former group is able to identify and call out those units that are operating as an Airbnb, homestay and short-term rentals.

Even the below except didn't shed light on what exactly happened until this ban is needed:
QUOTE
"In this case, Verve Suites Mont Kiara Management Corporations passed a by-law to stop short-term rentals because residents complained that guests in such arrangements were a nuisance and a breach of its by-laws.

This resulted in Verve Suites filing a suit in the High Court in 2018 against Innab Salil, Innab Trade Sdn Bhd, Ng Gaik Kian and Tan Why Chuan."


So is this law passed because there are many instances of this happening or was it passed because of Airbnb's growing popularity in Malaysia from 2018 onwards until they are guided by fear of this 'nuisance' happening? I've stayed in a few such Airbnb units in the past such as 6 Capsquare Condo and did not see such incidents happening.

I view these owners as hypocrites when they themselves also buy units elsewhere for their investment and operate as a landlord, homestay and/or Airbnb, but make noise when their own project have units operating as such.

In the 2021 Budget, the Putrajaya announced it would expand the tourism tax to include accommodation booked through online travel platforms, such as Airbnb from July 1, 2021.

I can understand for Airbnb's case, but do recall that fees and taxes are already charged when you book for hotels and accomodation via Agoda, Booking, Expedia, etc. Not sure what 'other' tax can you slap on the latter group...
