According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a rendezvous house at a luxury house in southern Adelaide has caused discontent among neighbors. Three cars outside the party house were set on fire last Sunday morning. Neighbors say they have reached the brink of collapse.
Residents here have endured weekly gatherings and were woken up by explosion at 5 a.m. on Sunday morning. At that time, the house had been gathering for 48 hours in a row.
The police are investigating the suspected arson. Neighbors are more worried about the weekly drama on the streets.
What can you do if you find a reunion house next door?
One of the neighbors, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told (ABC), an Australian company, that the house often sees sex workers and gatherers, sometimes naked people running from the streets, vomit and urine in the house.
"before the car was burned, there was a naked man standing on the roof. I've seen naked women many times on the balcony, and we wanted to take the kids out for a walk at the weekend, and it was boring to see it. "
Neighbors say they have complained several times about the rental house, including the owner of the house, the city of Onkaparinga, the police and local federal councillor Chris Picton. It is reported that the rental house has been hung on a number of accommodation websites, each night charge more than 2000 yuan.
This four-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion, Luxe Haus.. The sharing site called it "Adelaide's top-of-the-line accommodation experience, especially for those who like quiet, private homes."
The number of Australian rentals has soared 87% over the past year, according to Inside Airbnb, an independent-control website. Melbourne has 12474 houses listed for rent, while Sydney has 32830.
Airbnb provides a complaint board for tenants, reminding homeowners to advise them to avoid similar problems in the future.
But angry residents are demanding more protection from the site, saying rental sites like Airbnb and Booking.com are becoming increasingly popular, a platform that bothers neighbors.
We Live Here, a residential rights group, said that while they tried to put pressure on the state government to better regulate the housing-sharing economy, there was little personal effort to stop it.
State government and local municipalities have struggled to keep pace with the fast-growing sharing economy, and most municipalities and government have yet to develop a regulatory framework for managing Airbnb-like websites.
Marshall Delves, a spokesman for the We Live Here, said there were virtually no protection measures for neighbors who had to live with the noisy congregation houses and disturbing rental homes.
"We sued all the way to the high house of Victoria, but there was little to be done."
"We've been fighting for this for five years, but there's really nothing to do. We represent 200 buildings in Victoria, and the stories we hear are really terrible. "
New and Victorian government are considering regulations and laws for short-term accommodation and building use.
David Bierman, a senior tourism lecturer at a university in Sydney, said there had been problems in sharing accommodation in many parts of the world, and Barcelona had banned Airbnb operations.
"to be fair, Airbnb is working very hard to solve these problems," Bierman said. Overall, Airbnb customers don't cause trouble, and why more and more of these things get noticed because they're all abnormal things. "
Luxe Haus's real estate manager told (ABC) that the house had been rented to a group of men who planned to surprise their partners. "the people who rented the house told me they were going to do wine tasting and that it was a surprise for their partner. Obviously, this is a lie. The trouble they bring has nothing to do with the house or the owner. "
The property manager said she was negotiating with the police over the weekend.
AFC has contacted Airbnb and hopes to comment on it.
