Under the new restrictions, short-term renters will need to register with the city and must be present in the home for the duration of the rental
Home-sharing company Airbnb said it had to stop accepting some reservations in New York City after new regulations on short-term rentals went into effect.
The new rules are intended to effectively end a free-for-all in which landlords and residents have been renting out their apartments by the week or the night to tourists or others in the city for short stays. Advocates say the practice has driven a rise in demand for housing in already scarce neighbourhoods in the city.
Under the new system, rentals shorter than 30 days are only allowed if hosts register with the city. Hosts must also commit to being physically present in the home for the duration of the rental, sharing living quarters with their guest. More than two guests at a time are not allowed, either, meaning families are effectively barred.
This is big government overreach unfairly discriminated against landlords
If Justin Trudeau had any balls he’d implement a mandatory landlord tip for all renters
See now this I can get behind! Unfortunately communism runs in his genes so he will never stick up for the little guy landlords.
Have you considered that landlords should be discriminated against?
No, that would be discrimination against a minority which is pretty bad don’t you think?
Nah, I also discriminate against Nazi’s and they are also a minority
Have you considered that discriminating against Nazis makes you the real Nazi all along?
