New York suburb now requires permits for short-term rentals and a proprietor to be present for longer stays. FMTNews AirBNB Tourism
NEW YORK: Airbnb has suffered a humiliating election defeat in Jersey City, which voted overwhelmingly to clamp down on the home sharing company’s activities in the New York City suburb.
While expanding options for tourists, fast-growing Airbnb has been criticised for constraining home supply, marring neighbourhoods with transient and sometimes rowdy lodgers and denting the local hotel industry. Airbnb sought the referendum as a challenge to the ordinance in the New Jersey city, garnering 20,000 signatures for a referendum and spending millions of dollars on advertising.“I just want to say publicly that you brought a campaign of misinformation to Jersey City, you lied, you spent US$5 million and #jerseycity showed you what they thought,” he said.
