Airbnb-type short-stay rentals attractive lagte hain – higher per-night income, flexible use. Lekin law is model pe ab glare se dekh raha hai.
Issues:
- Zoning by-laws: residential building me commercial-style hosting allowed hai?
- Society/association rules: guests, security, lifts, nuisance complaints,
- Hotel/tourism regulations: registration, guest records, safety norms,
- Tax: GST / occupancy taxes / income tax compliance.
Kuch cities ne caps, registration or outright bans lagane shuru kiye hain certain areas me. Landlords ko lease deeds me explicitly mention karna chahiye ki sub-letting or short-stay allowed hai ya nahi.
Hosts ko guests ke ID records, house rules, aur emergency info maintain karna chahiye – yeh sirf legal nahi, practical safety ka matter hai.
