Short-term rental compliance on the Northern Beaches covers three key areas.

• Planning and by-laws: Confirm your use is permitted under NSW short-term rental accommodation (STRA) rules and follow any strata or lease restrictions. Some buildings require written approval before listing.
• Safety: Maintain working smoke alarms and display basic safety information for guests. Respect quiet-hours and parking rules to avoid complaints or fines.
• Tax and records: Airbnb income is taxable. Keep records for allowable deductions, review any GST obligations for your setup, and hold short-stay suitable insurance.
