Comment on Huge victory in New York for Nigel Warren and our host communityparent

Comments

As long as the owner of the apartment is there fine. My upstairs neighbor used to rent out her apt on AirBNB while she was out of town. On two occasions, the occupant flooded my apartment below because they didn't understand how to user a washer and air conditioner properly. I reported the apartment owner to the city by calling 311.

Unless the apartment owner is responsible and insured, this is why it is illegal in New York.

What wasn't trivial was the damage. Thousands of dollars to electronics, desks, furnishings, etc.

AirBNB should be ashamed of themselves for pursuing profits at any costs.

It's one thing to rent your house out in the middle of nowhere. It's another to rent it to eurotrash and let them destroy your building.
