It's the Bryan Lehrer Show, I'm WNIC reporter Nancy Solomon, filling in for Bryan, who's

out today, and now to close the show, a segment about the new short-term rental regulations

going into effect September 5th.

The relationship between Airbnb and the city of New York has long been contentious.

Many homeowners and landlords have benefited from offering rooms or entire apartments for

short-term stays.

Traditional hotels and housing advocates have been against it from the start.

And now the city is cracking down.

At the beginning of September, new regulations going to affect on how and when short-term

rentals happen.

Here to take us through these regulations and the impact they're already having is

Kara Eisenpress, Senior Tech reporter at Crane's New York.

Kara, welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for having me on.

And listeners, are you an Airbnb host that's applied for registration?

How's that going?

Are you someone who lives in a building where apartments have been used for short-term

rentals?

What do you think about that?

Do you still plan on offering a room in your apartment on Airbnb or a similar platform?

Now that these regulations have gone into effect, call us and tell us about it.
