Worth a read if you've ever used Airbnb for a short term stay in NYC (or if you're an Airbnb host). The City of NY is about to start enforcing a ban on short term rentals on Airbnb, VRBO, etc.
That's the take-away Airbnb wants us to have, but that's just not what the law says, as the company knows perfectly well. Please see the sibling comment in regard to this.
there are no substantial changes to the Law in type of rent and duration allowed, already you could not legally rent for less than 30 days a "whole" unit, the fact that everyone did it nonetheless is another thing.
