Airbnb / Short Term Rental Regulation Summary

The new law will take effect on Jan. 1, 2020. The new law will ban Airbnb and other short-term rentals in buildings with more than four units and phase out existing short-term rental contracts by Jan. 1, 2021. Meanwhile, owners of buildings with four or fewer units will be permitted to rent out up to two of them. Short-term rentals in condominiums will be allowed the local board permits it. The ordinance institutes an annual 60-day cap for short-term rental properties if the owner is not on site. To operate a short-term rental under the ordinance, the host has to be the property owner—the new provision bars renters from operating short-term rentals. All hosts will be required to obtain a permit, which must be renewed annually.
