Is Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Allowed at Maxim The Address?
Do not assume it is. Maxim The Address is on a commercial title, but whether short-term (Airbnb-style) letting is allowed depends on the building’s house rules and the local council’s rules. If short-stay letting is part of your plan, check both before you buy.
What decides whether short stays are allowed
| Factor | What to check |
|---|---|
| Title | The land is on a commercial title. The title alone does not make short-term letting allowed. |
| House rules | The building’s management body can set rules on short stays, including conditions or a ban. |
| Local council | The council can require licences or restrict short-term letting. |
“Airbnb Ready” wording in marketing material is not a legal permission. Ask the developer for the draft house rules, and check the council’s current position with your solicitor.
Location facts
- Border. About 3 km from the JB CIQ. The Bukit Chagar RTS station, expected to open in 2027, is about 6.5 km away.
- Retail. KSL City Mall is about 3.2 km away, and the Taman Pelangi food scene is close by.
- Furnishing. Partial furnishing (kitchen, A/C, smart lock, SPC flooring) is included.
The honest caveats
- House rules and council rules can change after you buy.
- Short-stay letting brings cleaning, platform fees, furnishing and management costs, and occupancy varies more than with a long lease.
- If you plan to let, ask for current asking rents for comparable units nearby and keep a vacancy buffer. No return is promised.
