A Scots homeowner has been banned from renting out his property on Airbnb after neighbours made complaints about 'rowdy guests'.
Navid Malik's neighbours in the South Side of Glasgow complained that rowdy guests were blaring loud music and making their lives a misery. The landlord was ordered by Glasgow City Council to remove his home from the short-stay booking platform.
But, as reported by Glasgow Live, Malik appealed the decision with the Scottish Government, insisting that the four-bedroom flat - advertised for groups of up to 10 people - was being 'used as a home' and no events were held there. His denial came despite police being called out to the property on five occasions due to loud music, shouting and parties taking place between midnight and 5am. On two occasions there were 13 and 15 people present at the flat.
