The government says Victoria has more than 36,000 short-stay places, which are reducing the number of homes available for long-term rental. Other states have a dwelling can be used for short-stay accommodation. The Victorian response has been to introduce a levy set at 7.5 per cent of the short-stay platform’s revenue. The rationale appears simple – adding a charge to discourage landlords from converting properties from long-term rentals to tourist accommodation.

The current housing crisis has renewed debates about how to regulate short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb. The international research on the impact of these rentals is clear: when landlords “host” tourists rather than residents, housing supply is depleted, rents rise and neighbourhoods change.
