Brooklyn (New York City)

Brooklyn follows New York City's strict Short-Term Rental Registration Law (Local Law 18), which prohibits renting out an entire apartment for less than 30 days. Hosts must be primary residents, remain present during the stay, and limit guests to two people total.

If you're thinking about renting out your place in Brooklyn on sites like Airbnb for short periods, there are some things you need to know. You can't rent out your entire apartment or house for less than 30 days, even if you own it. You can only rent a room if you're staying there too, and you can only have up to two guests at a time. Make sure to register your rental with the city to avoid penalties, and be aware that buildings can be put on a prohibited list if STRs are not allowed.
