30.1% of Sydney’s hosts have multiple listings

  • Airbnb reports to be removing hosts with multiple listings as a response to regulations,

such as in New York City.

  • Agents Managing Listings
  • Compliance with regulations.
  • Existence of agencies prior to Airbnb – might be more likely to be compliant with

legislation

  • Not necessarily serviced apartments.
  • Some use a business name, others a personal name.
  • New Co-hosts – listing may not be under the owners name but someone in the

area assisting.

  • Traditional Bed & Breakfast using Airbnb as an additional platform to advertise.
  • Servicing breakfast therefore required to comply with additional regulations.
  • Defined as development in most cases?
  • Where as STRA is generally not appropriately categorised to fit current Airbnb Uses
  • Investment property owners
  • Holiday home listings
