Bill > S05913

This bill requires online platforms that advertise short-term accommodations (stays less than 30 consecutive days) in New York to submit detailed information about the rental property to the designated enforcement agency before listing an advertisement. Specifically, platforms must collect and disclose the exact physical address, full legal name of the accommodation provider, contact information for the host, the type of dwelling (such as private residence or multiple dwelling), whether the property is under rent control or affordable housing programs, whether the entire dwelling or just a portion is being rented, and whether the dwelling is the host's primary residence. Platforms must also include a clause in their terms of service requiring users to consent to this information disclosure. Violations of these requirements will result in escalating civil penalties: $1,000 for the first violation, $5,000 for the second, and $7,500 for third and subsequent violations. In New York City, the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement will enforce these regulations. The bill does not apply to incidental rentals like house guests or temporary occupancy by other household members when no monetary compensation is involved. The law will take effect 60 days after becoming law.
