Gold Coast Regulations & Requirements

Your dedicated Gold Coast Airbnb property manager handles all the complexity so you can focus on earning

Operating a short-term rental on the Gold Coast requires compliance with local council regulations. Don't worry – we manage everything for you, ensuring your property meets all requirements while maximising returns. Here's what you need to know:

The Gold Coast City Council has specific requirements for short-term rental accommodation to ensure neighbourhood amenity and guest safety.

Key requirements we manage for you:

  • Guest registration and record keeping (minimum 5 years)
  • Provision of emergency contact information to guests
  • Compliance with maximum occupancy limits based on bedrooms
  • Meeting fire safety standards (smoke alarms, fire extinguishers)
  • Adherence to noise management protocols

We ensure your property meets all council requirements from day one.

Many Gold Coast apartments and townhouses have body corporate rules regarding short-term rentals.

We handle:

  • Reviewing your body corporate by-laws for STR permissions
  • Liaising with body corporate managers on your behalf
  • Ensuring guest behaviour aligns with building rules
  • Managing guest access systems and parking permits
  • 24/7 response to any body corporate concerns

Our proactive approach maintains positive relationships with building management.

Proper insurance is essential for short-term rentals, and standard landlord insurance typically doesn't cover STR activity.

Protection we recommend and facilitate:

  • Short-term rental specific insurance policies
  • Airbnb Host Protection Insurance (up to $1M AUD coverage included)
  • Public liability coverage for guest accidents
  • Contents insurance for furnished properties
  • Loss of income protection
  • Damage deposit bonds for guest accountability

Additional protection measures:

  • Secure collection of guest credit card details before check-in
  • Government-issued ID and driver's licence verification
  • Digital guest screening to flag high-risk bookings
  • Damage waiver options that protect both you and guests

We work with insurance providers who specialise in short-term rentals to ensure comprehensive coverage. Unlike long-term rentals where tenant screening happens once, we verify every single guest and maintain their payment details on file – giving you complete peace of mind and recourse if anything goes wrong.

Maintaining high standards of guest behaviour protects your property value and neighbourhood relationships.

Our guest management includes:

  • Thorough guest screening and verification
  • Clear house rules communicated before arrival
  • 24/7 emergency contact for any issues
  • Noise monitoring and immediate response protocols
  • No party policies and occupancy enforcement
  • Regular property inspections between stays

We've hosted thousands of guests across the Gold Coast with a 99.2% issue-free stay rate.

Result: $18,200 extra annual income
Main Beach

"What impressed me most was their handling of body corporate and council regulations. They sorted everything, kept the building manager happy, and my apartment consistently achieves 4.9+ star reviews. Completely hands-off for me."

Result: 86% occupancy rate maintained
