Quiet Hours

What are standard quiet hours for short-term rentals in Australia?

‍Most properties set quiet hours between 10pm-8am to comply with local council noise regulations and body corporate rules. These typically align with residential noise restrictions across Australian states, though exact times may vary by location and property type.

How should quiet hours be communicated to guests?

‍Best practice includes:

• Clear mention in the listing description
• Written confirmation in booking details
• Posted notices within the property
• Reminder messages before check-in and during stay
• Specific reference to penalties for violations

What happens if guests violate quiet hour policies?

‍Standard procedures involve:

• Immediate polite reminder to the guest
• Escalation to local authorities for persistent disturbances
• Potential early termination of stay without refund
• Negative review highlighting noise issues
