row over the operation of an Airbnb in a gated community in Hope Pastures, St Andrew, which has been described as a “nuisance” by residents and was being operated in breach of the rules governing properties in that area, has been settled by the Supreme Court.

The judgment, an attorney involved in the matter has argued, could impact similar operations in residential settings.

Ruling on an injunction sought by a citizen against the owners of the Scotland Drive property in College Green last week, the court declared that “the activities of occupiers who are deemed short-term licensees or tenants constitute a nuisance and are in breach” of the restrictive covenants on the certificate of title for the property which state that it should be used for residential purposes only.
