In deciding on the fine, the judge said there were several aggravating factors, such as the duo’s pre-meditation to be a profit-driven enterprise, advertising their d’Leedon condominium units in Farrer Road which they had subletted on portals like Airbnb or Homeaway.

As former real estate agents – their licenses have since been revoked – they also should have known that short-term stays were illegal, he said.
