Airbnb and several of its hosts sued New York City on Thursday to stop officials from enforcing “extreme and oppressive” registration requirements — claiming the tough new rules could effectively put Airbnb out of business in the Big Apple this summer.is fighting a law that took effect in January and is slated for enforcement beginning in July
The regulation also requires hosts to submit diagrams of their apartments and provide a list of residents in their homes. Airbnb, meanwhile, must certify that all of the information is accurate or be subject to fines of up to $1,500 per violation. Airbnb along with three hosts sued New York City on Thursday to stop a new registration rule from being enforced in July.“Airbnb will have to cancel thousands of reservations in NYC over the summer and the city will be the Grinch that stole summer,” Karen Dunn, a lawyer for the home-sharing giant, said at a press conference at City Hall.
Those nine hosts account for just 0.05% of Airnbnb’s $85 million in revenues from short term rental listings in New York City, according to the complaint.“This administration is committed to protecting safety and community livability for residents, preserving permanent housing stock, and ensuring our hospitality sector can continue to recover and thrive. The rules governing short-term rentals, codified in both city and state law, have been clear for years,” city officials said in a statement.
