Really? Among everything else this state is handling, Patterson decides to ban this? NY Governor David Patterson has signed a bill that makes short-term, vacation apartment rentals illegal in New York City, a defeat for those who think it will limit choices for Big Apple budget travelers, according to USA Today.
The new law, which outlaws New York apartment rentals for less than 30 days, "fixes problems caused by illegal hotels and improves quality of life in traditional residential apartment buildings, while also meeting the needs of visitors. By removing a legal gray area and replacing it with a clear definition of permanent occupancy, the law will allow enforcement efforts that help New Yorkers who live in SRO units and other types of affordable housing preserve their homes," said Paterson in a prepared statement. "By making the effective date of this law May 1, 2011, property holders, business owners and not-for-profit corporations will be able to adjust the uses of their properties to the provisions of this law, or to dispose of the properties at issue so that they may find alternate sites for their current uses."
