GEORGE TOWN: The Penang state executive council has agreed to not allow “check-ins” at landed and high-rise buildings for short-term rental homes or homestays.

However, state housing committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said no date on the ban has been decided yet.

Jagdeep said the ban would come in the form of a “guideline” which will be passed to local councils for enforcement. Jagdeep had said in 2021 that the joint management bodies and management committees of residential buildings have the right to lay down house rules to prevent homestays and short-term guests.

Jagdeep added that the JMB or MC could issue a compound to the owner if the residents are not agreeable to the idea and the unit owner insists on continuing the homestay business.
