Ghaziabad Residents Protest Short-Term Airbnb-Style Rentals in Residential Flats
Residents of Vaibhav Khand Windsor Park Society in Ghaziabad protested against alleged short-term and hourly Airbnb-style rentals in residential flats, citing security concerns and disturbances. The protest involved complaints to local authorities about unregistered stays, lack of police verification, and incidents including late-night disturbances and a pending FIR. Uttar Pradesh permits regulated homestays under specific conditions, but apartment bye-laws and actual flat usage affect legality, raising broader questions about short-term rentals in residential societies.
