PETALING JAYA: Sabah is looking to regulate the operators of short-let accommodation like those on Airbnb, including possibly banning short-term rentals of condominium units or homes in private housing areas.
Sabah deputy chief minister Dr Joachim Gunsalam said the state government is looking at ways to ensure Airbnb’s operations can be regulated well under the law.“We are looking at the ordinances and seeing where we can regulate it. It could possibly include making it illegal for Airbnb operate in a condominium or private housing area, to be a business entity,” he said, according to The Borneo Post.
