STR REGULATIONS

Brisbane operators:
from July 2026, you have 60 minutes.

From July 2026, Brisbane’s Short Stay Accommodation Law will hold operators accountable for guest behavior and requires a response to every noise complaint within 60 minutes. Minut alerts you before the complaint is even made, across every property in your portfolio.

Frequently asked questions

Does Minut record audio?

No. Minut measures decibel levels only, it doesn’t have a microphone and cannot record or store audio. Your guests' privacy is fully protected.

Can I manage multiple properties from one account?

Yes. Minut is built for portfolios so you can monitor all your properties from a single dashboard.

Will a noise log help if a complaint is disputed?

Yes. A timestamped record showing you detected and responded to a noise event is strong evidence of responsible management.
