New Yorkers renting their properties out without a licence can accept no more than two guests at a time and must stay in the house with them.
Holidaymakers searching for accommodation in New York City will find far fewer options than usual after a clampdown on Airbnb rules.
New regulations that came into place on Tuesday effectively ended a free-for-all which was allowing all landlords and residents to rent out their properties to tourists by the week or night.Under the new rules, only registered hosts will be allowed to accept guests for fewer than 30 days via platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO.
They must remain in the home while renting it out and no more than two guests are allowed at a time - essentially banning families and putting an end to group bookings for parties, or stag and hen weekends.officials say they have received 3,800 applications from people wanting to register as hosts but just under 300 have been approved so far.
The regulations are a win for housing advocates who argued apartments in the city were becoming de facto hotels.
