Yes they most definitely are making a massive impact on the rental Bundaberg Market. We understand many people don’t want to rent out to a long-term renter, so they want more control and can also demand more money per night using their investment as a Airbnb, rather than a standard rental.

The impact of Airbnb’s has had a huge impact and many renters who are desperate to put a roof over their family’s head are staying in Airbnb’s for a few weeks, then moving onto another so they don’t have to live in a tent or their car.

Renters are finding it so difficult and financially any money they have saved is being used up living in Airbnb’s as they are much more expensive to live in per night.

We hope that owners of Airbnb’s will decide to change their minds and use their investments and put in the rental pool.

The flow on effect of many people living in friends homes, backyards, in cars and tents has only increased, due to the number of property owners now utilising their investments as Airbnb's. Plus we have more people moving to the area as well as recent bad weather has definitely impacted the Bundaberg Rental Market.
