This study explores residents' perceptions of short-term rental (Airbnb) operations in high-rise residential properties, focusing on Residensi Falim Condo (PR1MA Falim) in Ipoh, Perak. The research investigates the issues arising from such rentals, emphasizing safety, privacy, facilities, and cultural impacts. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, data were gathered through systematic literature reviews and semi-structured interviews with residents. Findings reveal that safety is a predominant concern, with residents expressing anxiety over the presence of transient guests and potential security breaches. Privacy is another critical issue, highlighted by frequent disruptions from unfamiliar individuals and noise disturbances, particularly during festivals and late-night hours. The study also identifies dissatisfaction with the misuse and overcrowding of shared amenities, such as gym facilities and elevators, exacerbated by a lack of accountability among short-term rental guests.
