You need to ask whoever sets STR regulations in your location. Normally your local government @Sabiya1

@Sabiya1 If it's a building or a society then check if there is another person running an Airbnb.

Hi @Sabiya1 ,

I hope your research to start an Airbnb and getting to know the regulations, is going well.

Just sharing this generic article here that outlines regulations and taxes: Responsible hosting in India. I hope it helps give you a general idea of regulations that need to be considered and followed.
