Following the release of a governmental bill to fine illegal Airbnb operators in New York, the company has announced a series of concessions to address regulators’ concerns. From the 1 November, hosts living in the area will only be allowed to list one apartment for rent according to a “three strikes” policy to permanently ban those who break the terms and conditions repeatedly. The site will also maintain a New York database, which all hosts must register on prior to renting their properties. The city’s governor has until 28th October to approve or veto the bill.
