Airbnb Takes Legal Action Against NYC's Short-Term Rental Laws

TL;DR Summary
Airbnb has filed a lawsuit against New York City over an ordinance that the company says imposes arbitrary restrictions that would greatly reduce the local supply of short-term rentals. The 2022 ordinance would require owners to register with the mayor’s office, disclose who else lives in the property, and promise to comply with zoning, construction and maintenance ordinances. Airbnb called the restrictions “extreme and oppressive” and a de facto ban against short-term rentals that left the company no choice but to sue.
