I'm looking to rent out my house in Hobart on a short term basis whilst I'm living interstate. I'm a bit confused about the legality of it in Tassie. Since there are so many people here doing it, perhaps some of you can share your experiences?
My understanding is that I would need to cancel my personal home insurance policy and get a short term holiday rental insurance product.
Do I need to get council permission (dreading the thought of this), or just do it on the quiet and hope no neighbours notice/complain.
I wouldn't want to void my insurance policy for example if I didn't have the necessary council approval.
Also I am wondering if anyone in Hobart (Sandy Bay area) knows a service/person who would be interested in managing it for me - getting keys to guests, organising cleaning, inspection etc.
thanks.
