How to safely find an holiday apartment for renting in NYC?

Upvote:6

One thing to be careful about is that many AirBNB style rentals are actually illegal in New York City. Specifically, if the building has three or more units (almost all buildings), then the entire apartment cannot be rented out for a short term stay. (Though, if the host is still around and you're just renting a bedroom, that's perfectly legal.) So, unless you're renting for a month or more as a sublet (and even then, there are other legal issues possibly), be very careful of who you deal with for an apartment rental in NYC. While services like AirBNB are still flush with listings, many of them are only up because of AirBNB's lax policy in taking them down, and I've heard at least a few horror stories of landlords catching wind of such an arrangement and ruining somebodies vacation.
