This research investigates a range of short-term rental accommodation (STRA) models across Australia and their impacts on housing markets and communities. It identifies the policy responses most likely to resolve the competing demands for short- and long-term rental housing.
Many communities are concerned about the housing market and neighbourhood impacts of STRA. Platforms like Airbnb have increased demand for residential property and enabled owners to finance housing investment in new ways. Understanding the range of STRA models, provider motivations, and impacts in different metropolitan and regional settings is key to effective policy development and regulation.
