The NSW Office of Fair Trading has put together two informative factsheets for the benefit of consumers.
Renting a holiday home - consumer facts for travellers
By renting private houses and units, holiday-makers can enjoy the comforts of home while staying at their favourite holiday destination. But short-term renters in NSW don't have the same rights or responsibilities as regular long-term tenants. So it's a good idea to find out precisely what your rights are before renting a holiday house or unit.
Renting out your property - holiday letting information for owners and agents
Owners who rent out their homes or investment properties in holiday destinations make an important contribution to the tourism industry in NSW. Each year large numbers of holiday-makers use the services they provide. However, these transactions are not without problems. Owners and agents who are aware of their rights and responsibilities can avoid unpleasant and time-consuming disputes.
The long history of holiday rentals
Renting a holiday home by the beach or in the country has been a common summer past time in NSW for more than 150 years. Recently, a history of holiday homes was completed by Australian historian Terry Kass, providing some interesting details about the popular Australian tradition.
Public support for holiday rentals
A recent study undertaken by Colmar Brunton Social Research - one of Australia's largest market research firms - investigated the public's perception of and reaction to proposed planning changes to holiday home rentals.
A mobile population
People are moving about more frequently and rapidly these days. Advances in communications and transport have made the world much more interconnected. The REINSW Holiday and Short Term Rentals Chapter is at the forefront of interaction with this mobile population.
Creating a tourism experience
Holiday rental property managers are dealing with international visitors more often than in the past. Here are some tips to assist guests have an enjoyable holiday - and hopefully provide your landlord with repeat or referral business.
Planning for equality
REINSW is seeking to maintain equality between owners and tenants to provide consumer choice.
Lack of affordable accommodation
A recent report by Tourism Australia highlights the important contribution holiday rental properties make not only to the stock of accommodation, but also towards the overall tourism experience.
Valuable contribution
The lack of tourism and economic data for holiday and short term rental properties has meant that policymakers at both local and state government levels have underestimated the contribution from this segment of the accommodation market.
A new chapter
As the summer break when thousands will head to their holiday rentals approaches, agents who manage short-term tenancies are delighted with news that REINSW is establishing a Holiday Rental Chapter.
