Byron Bay, Australia, has enacted a 60-day limit on non-hosted short-term rentals like Airbnb to combat housing shortages. This regulation, effective September 24, aims to increase rental options for residents by moving properties from the short-term market to long-term rentals. While supporters believe it will alleviate housing issues, critics warn that it could negatively impact tourism and the local economy. Some areas will be exempt from this cap.
