Judge Grants Injunction Against Airbnb Disclosure Law

A Manhattan judge recently blocked new legislation that required Airbnb to turn over detailed data about their hosts. The law, which was set to take effect in February 2019, would have provided the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement with the names and addresses of hosts, the type of dwellings being rented, the frequency of rentals, the rental income, and, in some cases, the account name and number where hosts receive their rental fees.
