Short-term rental sites Airbnb and HomeAway have sued New York City over the city's latest regulation of short-term rentals in two separate lawsuits, claiming the requirement to release host data to the city violates privacy. Airbnb called the law "an extraordinary act of government overreach" that violates hosts' constitutional rights. The law, which the City Council passed unanimously last month, requires online rental platforms such as Airbnb, HomeAway, and VRBO to provide data on hosts to the city's Office of Special Enforcement every month. This includes the name, address, phone number, email, and profile URL of active hosts, as well as the total number of days the property was rented, fees that were paid, and whether hosts are renting out a whole home or just part of one. Short-term rental platforms that fail to disclose this information can by fined $1,500 per listing.
