Persecution began against the Airbnb service in the company’s homeland. In the USA, in New York, extremely strict rules for short-term housing rentals have come into force. As a result, the sunset of Airbnb is close – some users are convinced.
According to these new rules, only lessors registered in the municipality can rent for less than 30 days. At the same time, hosts and homeowners will be required to stay in their homes and share their living spaces with guests during the rental period. Also, due to the prohibition of simultaneous accommodation of more than two guests, companies and families were prohibited from renting housing.
As a result, only about 300 of the 3,800 applications submitted to New York City since earlier this week have been approved. At the same time, officials and defenders of housing law ensured that the new restrictions were applied so that the apartments could not function as hotels.
Home-sharing platform Airbnb has decided not to accept some bookings after new short-term rental rules went into effect in New York.
