"Quest on Story resident Cameron Green said that unless he and the owners of another eight apartments in the inner-city Kangaroo Point building could find the money to fight a legal battle, they would be out on the streets.
The residents bought their homes unaware that under the town plan they could only be used for short-term stays.
In many cases the apartments were advertised as suitable for first home buyers, the new owners received first home buyer's grants and in all cases solicitors carried out all the relevant searches."
