Critics of a New York City law say it acts as a 'de facto ban' on short-term rentals. Leaders say the rules are needed amid a housing shortage.
Despite legal opposition from Airbnb, New York City is beginning enforcement Tuesday of new rules on short-term rentals. The new rules require all hosts to be registered with the city.
The city implemented a law in 2021 intended to return apartments used as short-term rentals back into permanent housing. Last year, New York City took one property owner to court,saying the defendant"used a number of LLCs they control to run a complex and illegal short-term rental operation." The new rules stipulate that hosts cannot rent out an entire unit for fewer than 30 days, even if the host owns or lives in the building. The city said the rule applies to all permanent residential buildings regardless of the number of units. The city added that short-term rentals are only permitted if the host is staying in the same unit or apartment as the guests, and there are no more than two guests staying with the host.
