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.

Can I manage multiple properties from one account?

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.
