Airbnb will reject its complaint against the city and will share quarterly submission information as part of a new agreement “We wanted to work with New York for a long time on an effective regulatory framework, including information sharing — this agreement succeeds,” said Christopher Lehane, senior vice president of public policy and global communications at Airbnb. “As we look at the recovery of the tourism economy in New York, we hope that this colony will be an ongoing relationship and the first step forward for our community in the city.” Airbnb and Blasio`s administration announced an agreement Friday on the company`s complaint, when the city requested extensive information about its hosts. But the agreement gives all this information to the city. Home-sharing service provider Airbnb has agreed to release more information about its short-term rental lists in New York City, as part of an agreement announced Friday by Mayor Bill de Blasio. As part of the deal, San Francisco-based Airbnb will reject its federal action against the city, and New York City Council will amend a 2018 law requiring home sharing platforms to provide detailed data on all their offerings. Christopher Lehane, a spokesman for Airbnb, said: “We`ve been wanting to work with New York for a long time on an effective legal framework, including information sharing – this agreement can do that.” NEW YORK – The mayor of Blasio and Airbnb announced today that Airbnb and New York City have reached a settlement agreement that creates a new framework for the city`s local law that requires short-term rental platforms to exchange information about their offerings. As part of the deal, Airbnb will reject its federal action against New York City and the New York City Council will implement an updated local law. The deal announced Friday could cost Airbnb tens of thousands of bids in the Big Apple, but it also brings the start-up closer to home to its ultimate goal — and clarity its legal status in one of the San Francisco-based company`s largest domestic markets. The agreement aims to prevent unscrupulous guests from temporarily renting dozens of apartments in the same building and thereby removing tenant housing from the rental market. “With this agreement, the city will have a powerful tool to identify those behind fake accounts and reach out to those who take housing in New Yorkers,” said Christian Klossner, executive director of the Special Application City Council (OSE). “The revised law would not change existing laws that regulate whether short-term rents and their advertising are legal. We will be able to better protect our communities and visitors and better understand the effects of the illegal rental market in the short term. Transparency is now more crucial than ever to the city`s ability to protect residents and travellers.

It is also important to understand and respect other contracts or rules that you hire, such as Z.B. leases, condominiums or cooperation rules, hoa rules or rules that have been established by tenant organizations. Please read your rental agreement and, if necessary, check with your landlord. “With this agreement, the city will have a powerful tool to identify those behind fake accounts and reach out to those who take housing in New Yorkers,” said Christian Klossner, general manager of the Special Application City Council (OSE). New York city officials have estimated that up to 35,000 of Airbnb`s current offerings violate local laws prohibiting renting entire apartments for less than 30 days without any tenants present. Short-term legal rent is limited to single-family and two-family homes and free bedrooms in the city. The company has long fought against the transmission of its host data to the city and leaves it to officials to exclude illegal ads through old-fashioned detective work, such as analyzing photos on the Internet.
