How to Do Airbnb Legally in Your NYC Apartment

Why TLP made this Class:

  • We made this class because many New Yorkers want to engage in the sharing economy by doing Airbnb or other short-term subleasing in their NYC apartments without breaking the law or legally jeopardizing their tenancies.
  • New Yorkers want to learn best practices for avoiding trouble if they are doing everything with respect to their short-term subletting legally.
  • Thus, we made this class, which comes with a 40-page book, eight video lessons containing 72 minutes of material, and a 30-question quiz.

This class is for the following people:

  • people who rent an apartment in a one or two family home
  • people who rent an apartment in a building with three or more units
  • Rent Stabilized tenants
  • free market tenants
  • co-op shareholders
  • people renting an apartment from a co-op shareholder or condo unit owner
  • Interim Multiple Dwelling tenants
