Questions owners ask

Brisbane Airbnb management, answered.

How much does Airbnb management cost in Brisbane?

18% + GST of accommodation revenue, or 15% + GST if you have two or more properties. Cleaning is charged to the guest, not to you. There's no per-booking surcharge and no lock-in.

Do I need a permit to run an Airbnb in Brisbane?

Not at the moment. Brisbane City Council paused its permit scheme on 12 May 2026. Body corporate by-laws and City Plan zoning can still apply, so they're worth checking before you list.

Which Brisbane suburbs earn the most on Airbnb?

Across the properties we manage, the strongest weekly figures come from New Farm, Newstead, Teneriffe, Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, South Bank and the CBD. Inner-city two-beds net $1,200 to $1,350 a week.

How quickly will my place start earning?

Usually 14 to 21 days from signing to live listings, and the first booking typically lands within 7 days of going live.

Can I still use the place myself?

Yes. Block out the dates in your owner portal and we keep them clear of bookings.

How and when do I get paid?

Twice a month, on the 1st and the 16th, with a statement showing every booking, every cost and our fee.

I already have a manager. Can I move to Lane?

Yes. Send your last three statements and we'll reply within 24 hours with what we'd change. We rebuild and relist your property, timed to go live as your current notice ends, usually within 30 days.
