How can I handle the Society Management in Mumbai, India?

[Tina20]

Has anyone faced any resitance from neighbours or the Society management? If yes, how did you handle that?

Society bye-laws are framed restricting PG and Airbnb accommodations. People don't understand that Airbnb offers guest communities better than any other platform. And its a decent source of income too. I guess some don't know the rules, some just want to impose their rules and some are just jealous of you making good money. I have hosted my places in Ahmedabad but stopped during lockdown. 

I think societies can at the most request for ID verification, police verification or registration. Beyond this, they are just overstepping their jurisdiction.

Hi Sanjeev,

Yes I second that. I am on the verge of shutting down my beautiful Airbnb flat near Imagica, Mumbai due to society issue. Apparantly they have this problem with girls visiting and  staying in my flat wearing short dresses and bringing alcohol to my flat I have been told this verbally very sternly by the society managing committee members. But in emails they are disguising this mindset and want me to shut as they said and I quote "you are engaging in commercial activity in a residential township, so you need stop these unethical practices otherwise we will call the police and lock your flat". I need help from an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer to deal with this matter. Please help if you can🙏
