Reason for this Petition
The following residents of the ACT draws to the attention of the Assembly the social and community problems associated with allowing short-term accommodation in residential apartment complexes. These include behavioural impact of short-term guests on residents, compromised security and inability of residents to enjoy their own home due to crowd sourced noise and antisocial behaviour.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to review legislation to allow residential apartments to remain as people's homes not hotels, motels and other short-term accommodation models.
