Earlier this week, an administrative law judge in New York City ruled that a man renting out his East Village apartment through Airbnb violated the city's law.
New York City has a law that makes it illegal for people to rent out their homes or apartments for less than 29 days. The law is actionable only as a secondary offense, however.
Still, a good amount of apartments you find on Airbnb don't require a minimum stay of that long. Instead, some hosts only require you stay for a couple of nights.
Some of these illegally-listed properties come with outdoor showers, hot tubs, and amazing views of the city skyline.
