Surely people are wanting to learn and find out what's possible for themselves. If this plan isn't viable, I would think that's rather on point.
I certainly learnt a thing or two reading the discussion so I'm glad you had it, not sure why people wanted it shut down.
Thanks for the informative posts as always.
Tim - you've done a great job with the renos, we'll done. Personally I consider perp to be among the most on the ball posters on this site so I'd at least double check to ensure I was right if there was something she disagreed with but that's just me.
Beat wishes with the rest of your project!
I don't think the fact that others are doing it too will be a valid consideration if push comes to shove though.
What happens if there is a fire and you're found to have been renting out rooms illegally? Would insurance still pay up? Does anyone have first hand experience re this?
I think it comes down to how much risk you're willing to accept; Tim's obviously comfortable with the risk re insurance, whereas I wouldn't sleep at night if I thought my insurance may be invalidated.
Further, Brisbane City Council do prosecute these matters and I think I recall that fines can be $1,000 for every day that you've illegally had a multiple tenancy, so again, I wouldn't be comfortable with that hanging over my head. It's not as easy as "oh well, if they tell me I'm doing the wrong thing I'll make good". I don't think BCC take such a laidback approach.
I'd also be concerned, at this point, as to whether my certifier was willing to sign off the building. The original plans on the first page of this thread I can see could be certified, as they clearly show a single residence, i.e. no internal barriers between sections of the house. But can you get a certifier to sign off on what's actually been built?
I'm not sure I understand this, as I thought it was your property. Or do you mean that you're planning on moving out and renting out the whole premises to one other party?The thing is, it's already 1 single lease agreement over the whole premises, and 1 letterbox, water meter, power meter.

So you're planning on letting out the whole downstairs to one family?Not moving out. But still only one tenancy agreement on whole property. And with us still living in the property we don't breach maximum number of individuals in the property.
So you're planning on letting out the whole downstairs to one family?
And will they be "tenants" or "residents" or "boarders/lodgers"?
See tenants have the right to occupy the entire premises. So it's not classified as rooming accommodation.
So could they move into the main bedroom upstairs? Put all their furniture upstairs?They are not restricted in where they live in the house.
