New York County, New York Short-Term Rental Regulations: A 2026 Guide For Airbnb Hosts

Do you own an apartment in New York County, New York and you're weighing whether to put it on Airbnb or Vrbo? Well, the good news is that a legal path exists, though I'd rather tell you now than three paragraphs in that it's narrow enough that most owners won't fit through it. New York County is Manhattan, all of it and nothing else, so the rules you're hunting for aren't county rules at all. They're New York City's, stacked on New York State law. Renting a whole apartment for fewer than 30 consecutive days is illegal here whether you own the building or rent the unit, and the only short-term rental the city allows is a hosted one: you live in the unit, you're there for the stay, and you take no more than two paying guests. Two, not three.

The 30-day line isn't a technicality that quiet operators route around, either, because since September 2023 Local Law 18 has made Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com verify a city registration number before they'll process a payment. An unregistered Manhattan listing doesn't get a warning letter, it gets no bookings. Going through the city's January 7, 2026 registration dataset, Manhattan holds 385 active registrations, and they sit where a tourist wouldn't look: 173 of the 385 are in the uptown ZIP codes covering Harlem, East Harlem, Hamilton Heights and Washington Heights, while the whole Upper East Side accounts for 15.

So let's go through what doing this properly involves in 2026: who can register at all, what the application costs, how often Manhattan applications get refused, the paperwork behind it, the four charges that can land on one night's stay, how hard the city pushes, and who to call when something stalls. I pulled every number here off the city's and the state's own pages in July 2026, and flagged the ones that run on a schedule. Before you spend anything, do run the same apartment through BNBCalc as a 30-night furnished rental, because that's the comparison most Manhattan owners end up making anyway.

What are Short-Term Rental (Airbnb, VRBO) Regulations in New York County, New York?

That comparison only means something once you see what the short-term side is allowed to be, and two layers of law decide that.

The older layer is state law. Multiple Dwelling Law § 4(8)(a) says a class A multiple dwelling, which is what nearly every apartment building in Manhattan is, "shall only be used for permanent residence purposes", and it defines permanent residence as occupancy by the same natural person or family for thirty consecutive days or more. From there it lets through just two things a host might recognise.

People can stay under 30 days where they're "living within the household of the permanent occupant", which the law spells out as house guests, or lawful boarders, roomers and lodgers. Someone can also use the place while you're away, but only where nobody pays you for it.

Sitting on top of that is Local Law 18 of 2022, the registration law, and it's what finally gave the old rule teeth. Any stay under 30 consecutive days in a home or apartment counts as a short-term rental, the host has to be registered with the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement, and no booking platform may take a payment for an unregistered one. Registration hands you no new rights, mind you, since OSE's own guidance for prospective hosts is blunt that a registration doesn't change the underlying legality of the rental.

Put the two layers together and you get three fixed requirements, none of which paperwork can move:

• You have to be in the apartment. Short-term rentals are permitted only where you're staying in the same unit as your guests, and the same building doesn't count.
• Two paying guests, and that's the ceiling. Multiple listings can hang off one registration, but OSE holds you to two guests in the unit at any one time regardless of how many listings it approved.
• You have to keep a common household, which OSE reads as guests being able to reach every part of the apartment. Fit a lock a guest can close behind them as they head out and the common household is gone, while a privacy lock that only keeps someone from walking in on an occupant is fine. Plenty of Manhattan hosts hear that one and stop right there.

Two exemptions exist, both narrower than they sound. Any booking of 30 consecutive days or longer falls outside the definition, so nothing needs registering, but make sure you count the nights the way the city does, because check-in is day zero under state law. A 29-night booking is inside the regime; a 30-night booking is outside it.

Then there's the second exemption, which belongs to class B multiple dwellings. Those are the buildings legally approved for transient occupancy, and Manhattan holds most of the city's supply of them. Counted by building identification number, OSE's Class B list updated June 4, 2026 holds 871 entirely class B buildings in Manhattan out of 1,632 citywide, plus 110 more that are class B in part. Yours almost certainly isn't one, and be aware that a Department of Finance tax class beginning with "B" means nothing here, since that's a tax status rather than an occupancy classification.

Starting a Short-Term Rental Business in New York

Unless you own one of those 871 buildings, the business you can start in this county is far smaller than the one people picture when they buy in Manhattan.

Unfortunately for most people reading this, there's no whole-unit business at all. A pied-a-terre in the West Village, furnished and let by the weekend, is illegal in New York County, and the platforms won't take the bookings for it. No permit unlocks that, no LLC gets around it, and the $145 application fee doesn't buy the right. That part isn't negotiable.

What's left is a room share in the apartment you live in, so the revenue to model is a spare bedroom rather than a unit. That's the ceiling on the upside. Even that only opens up where your home clears a list of exclusions, and in Manhattan the list removes most of the housing stock:

• Rent-stabilized, rent-controlled and NYCHA apartments can't be registered at all, and that's the exclusion which bites hardest here. Of the 553 applications denied citywide for rent regulation through June 30, 2025, 185 came from Manhattan council districts, a third of the city's total from one borough, as the city's 2025 registration report shows district by district.
• Your building may sit on the Prohibited Buildings List. An owner, a co-op board or a condo board only has to certify that its leases forbid short-term renting, and from that point OSE has to turn down every application at the address. More than 21,000 buildings are on it, it works a whole building at a time rather than unit by unit, and if yours joins after you're registered the city can move to revoke what you hold.
• Renters can apply, but your landlord will hear about it. OSE writes to the owner of record about every application, and a board that didn't know it had an issue can answer by adding the building to the prohibited list.
• A one- or two-family house buys you nothing extra, and this county barely has any anyway. The Building Code treats them as long-term homes, so a whole-house stay is out there too, while a hosted stay with up to two guests is in.

Assuming none of that clears, the honest fallback is renting by the month rather than the night, since anything from 30 nights up sits outside Local Law 18 and lands under normal landlord and tenant law. Manhattan is a good place for it, too. On BiggerPockets, a licensed agent told a New York owner in January 2024 that "furnished mid-term rentals perform well in Manhattan" with tenants needing three to six months, at what that agent put at a 20% premium, which is one practitioner's estimate rather than a market figure. Plenty of the inventory that left Airbnb after 2023 went exactly there.

And if you're weighing boroughs rather than deciding whether to sell, the Bronx County guide covers the same city rules against a very different rent-regulated stock.

Short-Term Rental Licensing Requirement in New York County

Suppose your apartment does clear every one of those. Registration runs through OSE's Short-Term Rental Registration Portal at strr-portal.ose.nyc.gov, which wants an NYC.ID account before it will let you in, and the fee is $145 plus a small payment processing charge, taken at submission and not refunded whatever the outcome. Which is why those eligibility checks belong before the payment, not after.

OSE grants a registration only to a human being who permanently occupies the unit, and you certify that no lease or other agreement forbids short-term renting there. A company can't hold one, and neither can an owner whose home is elsewhere. So the registration belongs to that single apartment, you can't pass it to anyone, and you have to end it the day you stop living there. It lasts up to four years under OSE's adopted rules, or for a tenant, to the end of the lease period demonstrated to OSE, and revocation sits on the table the whole time. OSE can take it away for illegal use of the unit, a material false statement, three or more violations inside 24 months, or the building later joining the prohibited list.

Even so, approval is a long way from automatic, and Manhattan's odds are slightly worse than the city's. The 2025 report shows why, district by district: the nine council districts wholly in Manhattan submitted 234 applications in the year to June 30, 2025, of which 85 were granted, 86 were denied outright and another 49 sat in denial-pending. That's a 36% grant rate against about 40% citywide. The leading reason for refusal isn't some obscure technicality either. It's applicants who were told what to fix and didn't fix it, which stings a bit given that OSE allows 90 days to repair anything repairable and 30 days to send in something missing.

That four-year clock is about to matter more than ever. OSE's enforcement page puts the start of renewals in October 2026, and it reserves the right to refuse one over conduct that would've justified pulling the registration in the first place. Manhattan is exposed to that round out of all proportion to its size, since 63 of the borough's 385 active registrations expire during 2026 against 268 citywide, putting nearly a quarter of the first renewal cohort in this one county. Another 43 have already lapsed.

Getting registered is only half the job, since a registered host picks up standing obligations:

• Two things go on the wall for every stay: an exit-route diagram, covering the way out of the building too where more than one unit sits in it, plus your registration certificate.
• Your registration number belongs in every advertisement, and the listing has to keep matching what the application said.
• Every rental gets logged and kept for seven years: which listing it came through, when the booking started, how many nights, how many people, how much rent you took. When OSE asks for that log you have 15 business days to produce it.

Ignoring all of that gets expensive in a particular way. Local Law 18 fixes the penalty for an unregistered short-term rental at not more than the lesser of $5,000 or three times the revenue the rental generated, for each violation. The second half of that clause is the half to sit with, since a fine pegged to your own takings can't be budgeted for the way a flat one can.

Beyond that, a registered host who slips carries up to $5,000 for each violation, while lying on the paperwork costs up to $1,000 and the registration with it. Platforms face up to $1,500 per transaction, or three times the fee they collected, and that exposure rather than the host penalty is what brought Airbnb and its peers into line.

Required Documents for New York County Short-Term Rentals

Since that $145 doesn't come back and the commonest denial is still a correction nobody made, the paperwork deserves an evening before you open the portal. The form itself is short, but what OSE accepts behind it is specified tightly enough that a near-enough substitute comes straight back at you.

• One proof of who you are, picked from OSE's approved list.
• Two proofs that you live there, drawn from two different approved categories. People trip over this one most, and two utility bills fail it because they're a single category. Several categories carry recency limits, so dig out something current, and be aware that OSE reads only the mailing address on a utility bill, never the service address.
• Your lease, if you're a tenant. OSE wants the pages carrying the dates the lease runs between, the address of the apartment, and the parties' names and signatures.
• Every listing attached to the apartment, named by platform with its ID or URL. Each is checked for legality before OSE ties it to your registration, and anything you add later has to be declared before it can take a booking.
• Your unit number, unless the building is legally a single-family home. It has to be the apartment you sleep in, and the one printed on your proofs of occupancy.

Do clear your open violations first as well, since one left uncorrected by the Department of Buildings, HPD or the Fire Department can sink the application where the condition puts occupants at risk. DOB's Building Information System, HPD Online and the OATH Summonses Finder will show what's outstanding. And where a document carries a bank account number, a salary or somebody else's child's name, OSE lets you black that out before uploading.

New York County Short-Term Rental Taxes

Say the registration comes through and you're able to take that first booking. There's still tax, and because two governments administer the pieces the thresholds don't line up. Four charges can attach to one night in Manhattan, so take them one at a time.

Charge	Rate	Collected by
Hotel Room Occupancy Tax, additional tax	5.875% of rent	NYC Department of Finance
Hotel Room Occupancy Tax, fixed portion	50 cents to $2.00 per room per day	NYC Department of Finance
State, city and MCTD sales tax	8.875%	NYS Department of Taxation and Finance
Hotel unit fee, New York City only	$1.50 per unit per day	NYS Department of Taxation and Finance

The charge the city levies itself is the Hotel Room Occupancy Tax, and the 2025 NYC-HTX instructions put the additional tax at 5.875% of rent for occupancies falling before December 1, 2027, under Local Law 153 of 2023. Treat that as a rate with an expiry date rather than a fixture. The fixed portion climbs with the nightly rent on a scale the Department of Finance publishes, from 50 cents on a $10 room up to $2.00 once the rent passes $40.

The hotel tax never lands on most registered Manhattan hosts, though, and that's the part people miss. Under the Department of Finance's de minimis rules, the tax doesn't reach you where you let a single bedroom inside your own home, where a year's letting adds up to 14 days or less or to fewer than three separate occasions, or where one occupant stays for 180 consecutive days or more. Since a legal Manhattan short-term rental is by definition a room in the home you live in, that first line covers a lot of hosts, who never file anything.

Above those thresholds you'd file a Certificate of Registration, then display the Certificate of Authority that comes back. Quarterly returns follow on March 20, June 20, September 20 and December 20, sent to the Binghamton hotel-tax box printed on the form, although anyone with fewer than ten rooms can file annually.

Sales tax, meanwhile, belongs to the state, and it's the layer that changed most recently. Since March 1, 2025, state and local sales tax has applied to short-term rental occupancy anywhere the rate runs above $2.00 per unit per day, and every short-term rental night inside New York City carries a $1.50 unit fee on top. As of July 2026 the combined rate in Manhattan is 8.875%, made up of 4% state, 4.5% city and a 0.375% MCTD surcharge.

Who does the collecting is the practical half of that change, because a booking service now has to sign up as a New York State sales tax vendor and charge tax on every stay it arranges. So where one platform runs all your bookings, collecting stops being your job, provided you hold Form ST-155, the Booking Service Certificate of Collection, or a public agreement in which that platform commits to collecting.

Don't forget to keep that documentation, because feeding the platform wrong information about a sale lets the department bill you anyway, plus penalties and interest. Long stays escape both charges, since sales tax and the unit fee stop after 90 consecutive days and the city portion after 180.

New York-Wide Short-Term Rental Rules

Two of those four charges are state charges, a useful reminder that a good deal of what governs a Manhattan apartment was written in Albany rather than at City Hall.

The Multiple Dwelling Law is the foundation, and it predates Local Law 18 by more than a decade. Its class A rule is what makes an unhosted sub-30-day rental unlawful in the first place, and advertising a unit for occupancy that would break it is separately unlawful under Multiple Dwelling Law § 121, with penalties of $1,000, $5,000 and $7,500 for a first, second and third violation. New York City spent years enforcing that rule building by building against tens of thousands of listings, so Local Law 18 answered an enforcement problem rather than creating a new ban.

Albany has since built a registry of its own, and the reason it never reaches a Manhattan apartment is worth understanding. Real Property Law § 447-b created a county-run registration framework, but subdivision 6 protects the registries that were already running. A county, city, town or village "including but not limited to a city with a population of one million or more" that ran its own registry as of the effective date may carry on running it, and units there "shall not be required to register pursuant to this article".

That jurisdiction also keeps authority over its own rules, while subdivision 7 bars anyone inside a covered jurisdiction from starting a new registry. New York City had Local Law 18, so a Manhattan host registers with OSE and only with OSE, and the counties' June 26, 2026 opt-out deadline changed nothing here.

Outside the five boroughs, New York State is a different world, because whole-home rentals are lawful in much of it, subject only to what the local county, town or village asks for. Our New York statewide guide maps that overall picture, the Westchester County guide covers the first county north of the city line, and the Nassau County guide covers the Long Island side.

Does New York County Strictly Enforce STR Rules?

Upstate that patchwork matters partly because enforcement varies from one town to the next, whereas in Manhattan there's nothing uneven about it.

Most cities come at this after the fact, with a complaint, then an inspection, then a citation a determined operator treats as overhead. New York City moved the check into the checkout instead, so a platform that can't verify a registration can't take the money, and an illegal Manhattan listing never gets as far as earning the fine it would owe. That changes the whole calculation.

Field enforcement lands harder in this borough than anywhere else, too, because across the year to June 30, 2025 OSE recorded 1,877 inspections citywide and 1,173 of them, 62%, fell in the nine council districts wholly inside Manhattan. District 3 alone, covering Greenwich Village, Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen, took 418 of those, more than any district in the city, and keep in mind this borough holds 12% of the active registrations.

Compliance after approval gets watched too. By early June 2025 OSE reckoned roughly one registered listing in five had drifted back into illegal territory, advertising a whole home or three guests and up, and it had started sending Notices of Intent to Revoke that April, heard at OATH or in State Supreme Court. One of the city's three revoked registrations in the January 2026 data is Manhattan's.

Then there are the lawsuits, and both landmark cases were brought over Manhattan buildings. In May 2025 OSE filed its first case using the Local Law 18 penalties against the operators of ten West Village apartments run as the Incentra Village House. Then in February 2026 it sued a landlord over nine apartments in two rent-stabilized brownstones at 24 and 44 West 89th Street, seeking penalties that could exceed $4 million plus a court-appointed receiver to run them.

That second case is the one to read closely if you're tempted to get clever. The landlord answered Airbnb's delisting by building his own booking website, ignored a cease-and-desist from November 2024, and, according to his tenants, pulled out the buzzer so inspectors couldn't get in. None of it worked.

The city says those two buildings housed more than 900 transient guests and brought in over $550,000 since February 2023, which tells you how good the audit trail is. Platforms report their transactions and OSE publishes its registrations, so reconstructing years of bookings is a data exercise rather than an investigation. Watch the political direction as well, because Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani's administration brought that suit and argued it on housing supply, exactly as the previous mayor's team argued the West Village case. Enforcement here survived a change of administration and came out sharper.

How to Start a Short-Term Rental Business in New York County

Given how those two cases went, the order you work through this in matters more than it looks, since the early steps tell you whether the later ones are worth paying for.

1. Settle eligibility before any money moves. Ask New York State Homes and Community Renewal whether your rent is regulated, and run your address through the Prohibited Buildings List. A regulated apartment, a NYCHA apartment or a prohibited building ends the exercise, and the fee is gone either way.
2. Sit down with the lease, the bylaws or the house rules. Your application certifies that none of them forbids short-term renting, and a tenant should assume the landlord gets a letter.
3. Design the stay to be legal before you design it to be lovely. One apartment, you inside it, two guests at the outside, no lock a guest can close behind them. A plan needing the whole unit, an absent host or a third guest stops here.
4. Clean up violations, then assemble the file. DOB's Building Information System, HPD Online and the OATH Summonses Finder show what's outstanding, and after that it's the NYC.ID login, your proofs, the relevant lease pages and every listing ID.
5. Submit and pay. OSE aims to give a first determination inside three business days, and if the application comes back to you, treat that correction window as the hard deadline it is, because ignoring it kills more Manhattan applications than anything else.
6. Add the registration number to each listing, keep every listing matching what the application said, address and guest count included, and tell OSE about a new one before it takes a booking.
7. Get the postings and the log running on day one. The exit diagram and the certificate go up for every stay, and the seven-year record starts with guest number one.
8. Handle the tax before anyone checks in. Measure how often you plan to rent against the Department of Finance thresholds, and ask your platform for Form ST-155 or its public equivalent.
9. Diary the expiry date today. Registrations run up to four years, renewals open in October 2026, and 63 Manhattan ones fall due this year.

Who to Contact in New York County about Short-Term Rental Regulations and Zoning?

Whichever step trips you up, a handful of offices cover nearly all of it, and picking the right one first saves a lot of hold music.

Registration, eligibility and the application

The Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement runs Local Law 18, so it's who you deal with to apply, to repair an application, to add a listing or to close a registration down.

• Address: 22 Reade Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10007
• General inquiries: 646-576-3533
• Registration inquiries: [email protected]
• Apply and check status: the Short-Term Rental Registration Portal at strr-portal.ose.nyc.gov

OSE's contact page carries all of that, though it asks you not to phone or email about where an application stands. Log in, click "My Short-Term Rental Application", and the status is on the screen.

Complaints, in both directions

NYC311 is where illegal short-term rental complaints land before they reach OSE, so it's the number a neighbour dials about you as much as the one you'd dial yourself.

• Phone: dial 311, or 212-NEW-YORK (212-639-9675) from outside the city, over VoIP, or using 711, TTY or a video relay service
• Hours: 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and complaints can be filed online at nyc.gov/311 at any hour

Rent regulation status

Rent regulation catches more Manhattan applicants than anything else, and New York State Homes and Community Renewal is who confirms your status. Its Office of Rent Administration runs two borough offices here.

• Lower Manhattan Borough Rent Office: 25 Beaver Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10004, 212-480-6238
• Upper Manhattan Borough Rent Office: Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Office Building, 163 West 125th Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10027, 212-961-8930

City and state tax

The New York City Department of Finance owns the Hotel Room Occupancy Tax end to end, from registration through the Certificate of Authority to the quarterly returns, and its hotel tax page holds the current forms. You can reach it on 311, or on 212-639-9675 from outside the city.

Sales tax, the $1.50 unit fee and vendor registration belong to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance instead, so that's a separate call. Its Sales Tax Information Center answers on 518-485-2889 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on business days, and vendors register through New York Business Express using Form DTF-17.

Building occupancy and zoning

Whether a building is legally approved for people to live in or to pass through is a Department of Buildings call rather than an OSE one, and OSE says so on its own class B page. Its Manhattan Borough Office sits at 280 Broadway, New York, NY 10007, with customer service on (212) 393-2614 and the Certificate of Occupancy unit on (212) 393-2552, open in person from 8:30am to 4:00pm and by phone until 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.

What Do Airbnb Hosts in New York County on Reddit and Bigger Pockets Think about Local Regulations?

Those offices see the process from the inside, while hosts see it from the other end, and the sentiment splits along a line you don't find in many other markets.

A word on sourcing first, though. Reddit blocked automated access from where I was working, so I haven't read those threads and won't characterise them second hand. What follows comes from BiggerPockets threads I did open, plus the city's own numbers, which say more than any forum does.

• Investors mostly gave up on the borough. A New York buyer posting on BiggerPockets in May 2023 knew about Local Law 18 and planned to live in the property, and still opened by asking whether "getting approval is very hard even when all requirements are met", before adding that if the city didn't work out, the search would move to New Jersey.
• The people who qualify complain about documents rather than about the rules, and the denial data backs them up.
• The unlocked-door requirement draws the most anger, because it asks a host to give a paying stranger the run of the whole apartment, bedroom included, as the price of compliance.
• Nobody claims any more that the rules go unpoliced. Platform blocking closed that argument in 2023, and what people fight about now is whether the rules are fair, which is a different question.

The quietest signal isn't a post at all, since in the January 2026 dataset 66 of Manhattan's 385 active registrations carry no listing whatsoever, and 43 more have already expired. So people went through the whole process and then didn't use it, or used it and let it go.

One live bill is worth tracking, with a caveat attached. Int 0879-2026 has sat in the Committee on Housing and Buildings since Council Member Mercedes Narcisse introduced it on April 30, 2026. Inside the owner-occupied unit of a one- or two-family house, it would allow four boarders rather than two, lift the requirement that you be present, and permit locks on bedrooms, bathrooms, closets and storage as long as the way out stays clear.

Notice who's sponsoring it, though. Checked against the council's own district map, its six sponsors sit in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, and not one represents Manhattan, which fits a bill written around a housing type this borough barely has. Its predecessor died when the last session ended, so don't plan around it.

If you're weighing a Manhattan room share against a market where the whole unit can legally go on Airbnb, the New York market page is where that comparison starts. And the wider lesson here travels well past this county. Once a city shifts enforcement from the inspector's clipboard to the payment processor, nobody is asking what you can get away with any more. They're asking what your listing can be checked against.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you legally run an Airbnb in New York County, New York in 2026?

Only as a hosted room share. New York County is the borough of Manhattan, so New York City law applies and renting an entire apartment for fewer than 30 consecutive days is illegal no matter who owns it. The legal version: you register with the Office of Special Enforcement as the apartment's permanent occupant, you're there for the whole booking, and you take at most two paying guests, who get the run of every room. Anything else has to run 30 nights or more.

How much does a Manhattan short-term rental registration cost, and how long does it last?

You pay $145 plus a small processing charge at submission, and none of it comes back if the answer is no. A granted registration lasts up to four years, or for a tenant, until the end of the lease period shown to the Office of Special Enforcement, with renewals expected to open in October 2026. Do check your rent-regulation status and the Prohibited Buildings List first, since both kill Manhattan applications.

What taxes apply to a short-term rental in New York County?

Four charges can attach. The city's Hotel Room Occupancy Tax runs at 5.875% of rent plus a fixed 50 cents to $2.00 per room per day, though a host letting one bedroom inside their own home is exempt under the Department of Finance's de minimis rules. State, city and MCTD sales tax of 8.875% and a $1.50 daily hotel unit fee also apply, and booking platforms generally collect those two for you.

How many legal short-term rentals are there in Manhattan?

385, as of the city's January 7, 2026 registration dataset, out of 3,194 citywide. They cluster uptown rather than in the tourist core: 173 sit in the Harlem, East Harlem, Hamilton Heights and Washington Heights ZIP codes, while the entire Upper East Side accounts for 15.

Can you rent an entire Manhattan apartment for 30 days or more?

Yes, and for anyone holding a whole apartment that's the route that works. Once a booking reaches 30 consecutive days it stops being a short-term rental in law, so no registration applies and ordinary landlord and tenant rules take over. Do count the nights carefully, because check-in counts as day zero, making 29 nights a short-term rental and 30 nights permanent occupancy. Plenty of the apartments that came off Airbnb after 2023 went into this furnished monthly market.
