The city's short-term stay law was meant to lower rents and open up apartments for full-time residents. Critics claim the data shows it's not working. It's been one year since New York enacted a law that barred most whole-apartment rentals for short-term stays on platforms like Airbnb.
Licensing: Hosts must have a license to operate. Stay Limit: Short-term rentals are considered longer than 30 days.

In 2013, a Skift story pointed out that thousands of Airbnb listings were illegal under the law. In 2021, the New York City Council adopted Local Law 18, which wouldn't become effective for two more years. A Prohibited Buildings List now enables landlords in big apartment buildings to block short-term rentals.
Eligibility to host on Airbnb depends on the type of building and dwelling.
