Brisbane to introduce Airbnb permits for property owners amid housing crisis crackdown

Mayor Adrian Schrinner says property owners would now need appropriate planning approvals, body corporate support and a 24-7 property manager for short-term rentals

Hard to argue tbh.... Is there a negative to something like this I'm not aware of?

Personally I think Airbnb is the stupidest thing going. You pay more than hotel rates, to live in a house you have to clean and tidy yourself and then pay cleaning fees on top, and its often a hassle if anything goes wrong as there's no responsible party you can approach - Airbnb shrug their shoulders, and the host just hides behind a mobile number they can conveniently turn off.

Have used them a couple of times in the past purely because we had pets and I hated it.
