Asha Askarly, the founder of Sydney-based luxury rental agency The Property Edit, is facing serious legal and regulatory challenges. The NSW Fair Trading has appointed an administrator to oversee her business, while police are pursuing charges against her, including an apprehended violence order (AVO) taken out for her husband's protection. Askarly, once dubbed the 'property princess' of Sydney's eastern suburbs, is now at the center of multiple investigations.
The Fair Trading investigation into The Property Edit has led to the appointment of an administrator, signaling significant concerns about the agency's operations. Concurrently, police involvement has resulted in criminal charges against Askarly. The AVO, sought by police to protect her husband, Danny Zammit, indicates a serious domestic situation. Askarly has been charged with common assault, and a court date has been set.
Askarly, who has claimed to have found rentals for celebrities such as Mark Wahlberg and Will Smith, built her reputation on sourcing exclusive properties. However, her business and personal life have recently come under intense scrutiny.
When approached for comment by Daily Mail, Askarly denied allegations of fraud, stating, "Allegations of fraud are denied and I have no other comment." Her business's social media presence has since been made private.
