A 5686 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Regulates short-term rentals

This bill establishes a regulatory framework for short-term rental units (like Airbnb listings) in most New York localities, excluding New York City and areas that have opted out of registration. It requires hosts to register units, maintain safety features (fire extinguishers, evacuation diagrams), carry $300,000 liability insurance, and comply with local health/safety rules. The law applies to units rented for less than 30 consecutive days for tourist use, while exempting areas with existing registration systems or local bans. It also mandates tax collection on short-term rentals through local jurisdictions.
