Rat on the rentals: Dob in your Airbnb neighbours, says lord mayor

Brisbane residents will be asked to dob in neighbours who offer Airbnb-style accommodation as the council cracks down on a range of housing issues, including people avoiding higher rates.

The category requires eligible owners to pay 50 per cent higher rates if they rent out their properties on a short-term basis through accommodation websites. “Some residents have suddenly found themselves living next to pseudo hotels and this has created problems,” Schrinner said. “We would prefer if people self-nominate, which occurs already when properties shift from being owner-occupied to rented,” she said.
