Verhuurwebsite Airbnb is not really on the same line as the city of New York. Friday accused the website of the state after a new law was adopted. That law ensures that there is a lot of fines to stand on the house that you rent out through Airbnb.
The penalties can be up to 7500 dollar, knows Mashable. Anyone with a house for longer than thirty days rent and his house is still on the website, runs the risk of the bon. The company threatened in september with a lawsuit when the law was proposed. They keep to their word and have now been sued.
Carefully
That the state is not, of course, fun: “This case has a lot of and careful attention,” says Rich Azzopardi, spokesman for governor Andrew M. Cuomo in the New York Times. Cuomo has ensured that the law has come. “Actually, the activities are already largely prohibited.”
Airbnb is fighting since June against the law, that the advertising of your home prohibits. That if unfortunately to no avail: the law is there now. The reason that this law is there, it is because your house is sublet, affordable rent unaffordable.
40.000 houses
In the state, more than 40,000 houses offered for rent. Half of it is a whole house, which may now no longer be rented out. However, it is not Airbnb that’s fine, but the landlord.
With the lawsuit hopes to Airbnb to find a solution so that landlords will no longer be fined. Incidentally, is New York not the only city where the problems are. Also in San Francisco, Berlin, Barcelona and Amsterdam should your house but for a short period of time for rent.
