Your guide to responsible hosting in apartments
Your guide to responsible hosting in apartments
The free Apartment Hosting Guide provides practical guidance to support hosts operating responsibly within apartment communities across Australia. We have developed this guide in collaboration with the Strata Community Association Queensland (SCAQ), the peak industry body for professional body corporate and community title management.
Apartment Hosting Guide
Most hosts and guests are respectful and responsible. This guide is designed to help uphold and strengthen those standards, while supporting hosts, property managers and residents to:
- Understand and follow local building rules
- Protect the wellbeing of the community around them
- Build positive relationships between hosts, building residents and guests
Checklist
We have also developed a simple checklist to help hosts understand their responsibilities.
Hosting in apartments is an important part of many residential communities across Australia.
Property managers and hosts play a vital role in ensuring that hosting is safe, legal and respectful for everyone.
