A New York City judge has dismissed lawsuits filed by Airbnb and local hosts against the city pushing for looser restrictions for short-term rentals.
"New York City’s short-term rental rules are 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,” Theo Yedinsky, the global policy director for Airbnb, said in a Tuesday statement obtained by the Washington Examiner.
“The 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," Yedinsky said. Under the new guidelines, which will be enforced this fall, booking companies including Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and others will have less than 30 days to file with the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement.
The rental company filed two lawsuits against the city in June, arguing the summer months mark a “surge capacity” in which New York hotel rooms are fully booked and that the ordinance will make accommodations difficult for those who are visiting the city.Airbnb has said this restriction will affect more than 80,000 guests who have booked stays starting on or after Sept. 5.
