The court disagreed to the arguments of the Defendants.

Short term rental guests are mere transient lodgers and in fact the Airbnb terms of service describes the booking as a “license”.  Short term rental guests can be more appropriately be described as akin to hotel guests.

Short term rentals are not considered as “dealing” within the meaning of NLC.

“House guests” who have booked their units online are in law mere “licensees” who have been allowed to enter the licensor’s parcel for a consideration. No proprietary rights passed to them.

There is no landlord-tenant relationship between them and tenancies exempt from registration pursuant to S 213 NLC does not apply to them.

Short term rental activities do not fall within the meaning of “any other dealing” within Section 70(5)(a) of the Strata Management Act 2013.
