Airbnb on rented property in Mumbai?

[Rajat25]

Hi All,

I want to start an Airbnb business in Mumbai. However I  will be renting a property and then convert it as an Airbnb. Are there any legalities that I should be aware of, can someone please guide me from scratch?

Thanks 

Rajat

Has the landlord said they are happy for you to sublet for STRs? @Rajat25 

Have you checked to see if there are STR regulations in your area? 

if you want to know how Airbnb works look on the Airbnb Help website

HI,

Subletting (rental property can't be subletting by a tenant) is prohibited in Mumbai.
