How do HOST who are LEGALLY Renting out feel about having to register with NYC in order to rent out their home or space in their home on a short-term when it is legal when you are living there as well?
This came out in the NY TIMES 11/09/2021
The bill passed by the New York City Council is modeled after a regulation in Santa Monica ensuring that hosts register their homes with local governments. It’s designed to ensure compliance because it requires online rental platforms like Airbnb to verify that a listing has been properly registered with the city before the platform can collect any fees. Fines for hosts who fail to abide by the rule would be up to $5,000, and platforms like Airbnb would be fined $1,500 for every illegal transaction.
