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. In addition, the platform is now offering an option that allows users to pay via credit card or PayPal directly through its website.
