NYC Local Law 18 On Short-Term Rentals Takes Effect
On Jan. 9, 2022, the New York City Council passed the Short-Term Rental Registration Law (Local Law 18), which directly impacts the ability of an individual unit owner to rent his or her apartment on a short-term basis, i.e., for a period of less than 30 days. The law took effect on Sept. 5, 2023.
This law now requires all short-term rental hosts to register with the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement (OSE), which oversees the enforcement of Local Law 18. Although not a de-facto ban on all short-term rentals in NYC, Local Law 18 imposes significant and burdensome requirements on short-term rental hosts, which has already had the intended impact of severely limiting a host's ability to lease his or her apartment on a short-term basis. Under the new law, Booking Services (such as Airbnb, VRBO and booking.com) are prohibited from processing any transactions for an unregistered host.
