Buying condo for Airbnb is not a financially feasible investment; - purchase price is higher than equivalent hotel room - rental rate is cheaper than equivalent hotel room - occupancy is lower than than equivalent hotel room in the same area. - many newbie failed to account depreciation, accelerated wear and tear, etc.
According to Airbnb, average occupancy in this country was about 65 room night last year.

QUOTE(nookie188 @ Mar 23 2019, 04:50 PM) According to this lawyer (Bugie law) the resolution to ban short term tenancy can be tabled at a GENERAL MEETING IE AGMs..not EGMs.. If at an AGM, one needs a simple majority to have the resolution pass..but i have read elsewhere that it must be tabled at an EGM whereby 75% or more of owners present must agree.. Anyone? QUOTE(nookie188 @ Mar 24 2019, 09:16 AM) Thanks  that was what i thought..so what other issues come under special resolutions? in that case, the lawyer is wrong?? and he is supposed to be the "expert" in strata management matters... Hi @nookie188, general meeting means (AGM and EGM).

As I have been informed, all strata property which include SOHO, SOFO, Service Apt under commercial title, any property bound under strata act is under JMB to decide to ban airbnb or not.
Really curious on this especially those so called commercial titled unit and those fancy name as SOHO, SOFO etc for home staying, why such naming when cannot be airbnb since they are paying all under commercial rate.

3 investment rules -location -location -location
Putrajaya is a wrong location. And Airbnb should be at commercial title property, not residential

To my knowledge no condo is able to ban owners from long term rentals because SMA act protects their rights to rent and lease.

It's just a gimmick to sell something (shzt) to water fish that listen to another water fish advise and think they aren't water fish. Too many fish in water.

Prices of these rentals are reflecting the direction market is going now. Operators of Airbnb must embrace themselves for a rough ride now. Either way is catch-22.

Always see this topic come up, think people should be aware that there can be some consequences to ban Airbnb at your building that you should take note of. 1. Your Property Could Lose Value 2. Your Rental Income Could be Reduced 3. Your Condo Maintenance will suffer Not 100% that these things will occur in every building la but it's possible to have this effect. So, before simply opposing, might just want to consider these outcomes. https://blog.rentandreturns.com/why-you-don...-to-ban-airbnb/

And Airbnb should be at commercial title property, not residential sorry old topic but i stay in putrajaya. to be honest putrajaya is very good for homestay and airbnb because lot of gomen staff come here for meeting and training. sometime they bring families. cannot stay hotel for 1 week together with families. putrajaya is good for homestay (maybe airbnb) . maybe during covid no more meeting for gomen office. but now everything back to normal
