Noida Supernova Society Tightens Rental Rules, Bachelor and Student Tenants Face One-Month Exit Notice
The Supernova Apartment Owners’ Association has introduced new tenancy rules in Sector 94, targeting short-term stays, overcrowding and alleged misuse of residential flats.
- Owners are advised to prefer families and working professionals as tenants.
- Student and bachelor rentals may require tenancy committee clearance.
- Short-term and commercial use of residential flats will also face tighter checks.
Noida: The Supernova Apartment Owners’ Association (SNAOA) in Noida Sector 94 has introduced a new tenancy policy regulating who can occupy rented flats in the high-rise residential complex. Under the policy, homeowners renting their apartments to students or bachelors have been asked to provide them with one month’s notice and, preferably, replace them with families or working professionals.
The move comes amid concerns raised by the association over alleged nuisance, short-term rentals and the use of residential apartments for activities beyond their intended purpose. The issue has also gained attention following a viral video from October 1 showing a man allegedly forcing his car through a Supernova entry gate after an argument with a security guard.
According to the newly issued ‘Policy for Regulation of Tenancies, Occupancy and Resident Conduct, 2026’, homeowners have been advised not to rent their apartments to students or bachelors where possible. Instead, the association has recommended families, working professionals and other lawful categories of occupants.
Owners who want to continue renting to a student or bachelor may have to approach the tenancy committee for approval. If the committee does not clear the tenancy, the owner would be required to get the apartment vacated within one month of receiving the committee’s notice.
The policy also states that the number of occupants in an apartment should be appropriate for the size of the property and consistent with its sanctioned residential use.
The association said the new regulations were introduced after complaints concerning activities at Supernova East and West, a residential complex comprising around 500 apartments. Reported concerns include loud music, smoking and drinking, along with allegations of drug consumption and other unlawful activities.
The policy also addresses concerns surrounding flats allegedly being used for illegal call centres, online fraud operations and prostitution-related activities. Naresh Nandwani, adviser to the Supernova Apartment Owners’ Association, also pointed to instances where apartments were reportedly being rented out for short-term stays.
The association’s position is that residential apartments should continue to be used primarily for their sanctioned residential purpose rather than functioning as hostels, hotels or commercial premises.
The tenancy rules were introduced shortly after a security-related incident at Supernova drew attention online. On October 1, a video circulated on social media showing Tushar Sharma, a Sector 15 resident, allegedly entering the Supernova premises in his vehicle after an argument with a security guard over access to the complex.
Noida Police subsequently arrested Sharma on preventive grounds. His vehicle was also seized and challans were issued.
While the incident is separate from the tenancy policy, it has added to the broader discussion around visitor management, tenant verification and security within large residential societies.
The policy could have a direct impact on homeowners who regularly rent their apartments to students, bachelors or occupants seeking short-term accommodation. Owners may now face additional scrutiny before continuing certain tenancies, particularly where the association believes the occupancy or use of a flat does not comply with residential norms.
For tenants, the new framework means that rental arrangements may increasingly depend on society-level rules in addition to the agreement with the property owner. Prospective tenants should therefore check the society’s latest tenancy and occupancy requirements before finalising a rental agreement.
The association has also moved to regulate short-term stays and commercial activities conducted from residential apartments. The policy seeks to ensure that flats are not used in ways that conflict with their sanctioned residential purpose.
Going forward, homeowners, tenants and the association’s tenancy committee are expected to play a greater role in ensuring compliance. The stated objective is to maintain Supernova as a residential community while addressing concerns related to security, overcrowding, nuisance and possible misuse of apartments.
