Ghaziabad society residents run hourly Airbnb stays from flats, protest erupts; Can a flat owner operate short-term homestay under law?

Residents of Vaibhav Khand Windsor Park Society in Ghaziabad have protested against alleged Airbnb-style short-term rentals from residential flats, with some residents claiming that units are being offered even for a few hours and raising concerns over unknown visitors, police verification and late-night disturbances.

According to TOI, the residents held a protest near Gate No. 1 and submitted a joint complaint to the District Magistrate, Police Commissioner, Ghaziabad Development Authority, Nagar Nigam and Tourism Department. They alleged that several flats, particularly studio apartments in Towers A and B, were being used for daily or short stays. Towers A and B have around 270 studio apartments, while the society has around 770 flats, according to the residents' claims.
