">Undoing NYC’s Short-Term Rental Crisis: Repeal Local Law 18
- Real Estate
- 8 months ago
Who really wins when homeowners lose? This is the question New Yorkers should be asking as Local Law 18 continues to financially cripple thousands of private homeowners across our city. What was once a thriving short-term rental market that supported thousands of small homeowners and local businesses has been gutted by a sweeping regulation that failed to account for the diversity and complexity of our housing ecosystem. A new bill proposes to undo some of this damage by allowing short-term rentals in one- and two-family homes. This proposal isn’t just a step in the right direction—it’s a lifeline for working-class families and small communities struggling under the weight of this misguided law.
