Contrary to many short-term accommodation operators (STAs), short-term accommodations in Malaysia are subjected to laws relating to land and town planning. In the light of the ignorance of the STA operators about the legal aspects of STAs and complaints received by both the industry players (registered hoteliers) and the general community at large, this paper addresses the elements of an express condition of the land, usage of the property and licensing of the STAs in Malaysia. This paper uses the library-based approach, where the analysis of relevant legislation, newspaper report, decided cases, and journal articles are made. A comparative study with selected states in the U.S.A is made concerning the legal status of the short-term rentals.Downloads
