FAQ: Enforcing Existing Short-Term Rental Laws in Sydney
Krystina Cleary, founder of Cleary & Co, argues that Sydney should enforce existing short-term rental laws rather than impose new bans, as over 3,000 unregistered hosts bypass the system while less than 2% of housing stock is on Airbnb.
Cleary & Co argues that instead of adding new bans on short-term rentals, the City of Sydney should enforce existing laws, as over 3,000 hosts are operating unregistered while only 2,468 out of 5,454 active listings are registered.
She says that less than 2% of Sydney's housing stock is on Airbnb, and the real issue is the enforcement gap with 3,000 unregistered hosts, not a widespread housing crisis caused by short-term rentals.
There are 5,454 active short-term rental listings, but only 2,468 are officially registered under the NSW Short-Term Rental Accommodation framework, leaving over 3,000 unregistered.
The suburbs include Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, Pyrmont, Potts Point, and Chippendale, where rental vacancy rates are below 3 percent.
Homeowners who use their properties to fund retirement, visit family, support businesses, or cover medical expenses would be forced into long-term rentals with lower income and less flexibility.
They propose enforcing existing STRA laws by auditing and penalizing unregistered hosts, as the current system already requires registration for stays under 90 days.
Between 0.9 and 1.6 percent of Sydney's housing stock is listed on Airbnb.
She describes them as a diverse group, including retirees, people visiting family, business owners, and those covering medical expenses, not large-scale investors.
She states that banning short-term rentals did not work in Byron Bay, implying it would not work in Sydney either.
