Airbnb\u2019s attempts to fight back against the new law have, to date, been unsuccessful. The company sued New York City in June, but a judge dismissed the case in August, ruling that the restrictions were \u201centirely rational.\u201d Airbnb did not comment on whether it would appeal the decision. Hosts are also fighting for the right to list their apartments as short-term stays by meeting with city officials to try to change the law.<\/p>\n

The rules \u201care a blow to its tourism economy and the thousands of New Yorkers and small businesses in the outer boroughs who rely on home sharing and tourism dollars to help make ends meet,\u201d says Theo Yedinsky, global policy director for Airbnb. \u201cThe city is sending a clear message to millions of potential visitors who will now have fewer accommodation options when they visit New York City: You are not welcome.\u201d Yedinsky says Airbnb has a goal of working with the city on \u201csensible\u201d home-sharing rules, but he did not elaborate on the company\u2019s next steps.<\/p>\n

The change will make short-term rentals \u201ca lot less attractive\u201d for many people coming to New York, says Sean Hennessey, a professor at the New York University Jonathan M. Tisch Center of Hospitality. And in a city where hotel rooms are small and expensive, it could \u201cmake the city a little less accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are currently more than 40,000 Airbnbs in New York, according to Inside Airbnb, which tracks listings on the platform. As of June, 22,434 of those were short-term rentals, defined as places that can be booked for fewer than 30 days. Many Airbnbs are concentrated around downtown Manhattan, along the Upper East Side, and in Williamsburg and Park Slope in Brooklyn. While the number of rentals may be small compared to New York City\u2019s population of 8 million people, Murray Cox, founder of Inside Airbnb, says some desirable neighborhoods are overly burdened by short-term rentals, which can result in housing shortages and higher rents. The new law, in theory, could open these homes to local residents. New York City is facing a housing shortage that has increased rents and rates of homelessness.<\/p>\n

The implementation of the law shows \u201cvery clearly you can cut down on short-term rentals,\u201d says Cox, who was part of the Coalition Against Illegal Hotels, a group that advocated for the registration law. \u201cYou can make these platforms accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an older law on the books that prevents short-term rentals of entire apartments for less than 30 days in New York, but it\u2019s been difficult to enforce without the registration mandate that takes effect Tuesday in place. Compounding the sudden shortage of Airbnbs in New York is another piece of the new law that allows landlords to ban entire buildings from short-term rental platforms. As of July, nearly 9,000 buildings across New York City were on the list. New York\u2019s laws on short-term rentals exempt certain entire apartments on rental platforms that are zoned as hotels and boarding houses, meaning there will still be some entire units advertised on rental platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
