Airbnb hosts in New York City are suing the city over new regulations and claiming unfair targeting of law-abiding homeowners.
Airbnb is filing a lawsuit against the city over a new law they claim effectively bans short-term rentals. FOX 5 NY's Sharon Crowley has the details.Airbnb host Rupi Aurora rents out rooms in her forest hills home to make ends meet.
"The extra money I make from short-term rentals goes toward my property taxes, maintenance upkeep of the home."They object to new short-term rental regulations passed by City Council. Gia Brosce also an Airbnb host said, "My husband Paul and I are professional musicians sharing our home provides us the necessary income to supplemental income to survive in a city that's no longer affordable for artists like us.
Under the law aimed at cracking down on illegal short-term rentals hosts have to register with the city and be in the home if a rental is less than a month long. A City Hall spokesperson responding to the lawsuit said, "The short-term rental registration law was duly adopted by the city council, and OSE implemented rules pursuant to the law. We have consistently worked with hosts and platforms to ensure they were aware of their requirements under the law. We will review the lawsuit.
The Airbnb hosts are asking the court to prevent the city from enforcing these rules until the lawsuit has been resolved. They say a ruling in their favor would allow them to continue living in the homes they own in New York City. DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
