No more than two paying guests can stay in a short\u002Dterm rental at a time, no matter the size of the dwelling or the number of bedrooms.

Law 18 applies only to properties rented for less than 30 days. According to city legislators, the law is intended to stamp out illegal short-term rentals, ensure the safety of guests bunking in private dwellings and ease the tight housing market.

As of Aug. 28, the OSE said it has received 3,250 applications. Of those, it has reviewed 808 submissions, granted 257 certificates, rejected 72 and returned 479 for additional information or to correct deficiencies. The department also maintains a Prohibited Buildings List submitted by landlords who do not want their properties hawked on short-term rental platforms.

“You can lock the bathroom door while you’re using it, but the tenant can’t lock their room and go out for the day,” Hennessey said. “So the host can go into the guest bedroom and the guest can go into the host’s bedroom, at least as the law is written.” After the run-in with law enforcement, she stopped accepting short-term rental requests and only hosts visitors who commit to at least 30 days. At this juncture, she might not reverse her position.

Budget travelers have a few cheap and communal options, such as Hostelling International, but not nearly as many as European metropolises, because NYC lawmakers banned hostels in 2010.Article content
