Ruling Clarifies Legality of Airbnb Rentals in NYC

New York City's Environmental Control Board has reversed a ruling that had imposed a $2,400 fine against a man who rented out his apartment using Airbnb, an online platform that people use to lease out their living space to short-term guests. So Forbes reports.

Whether it is legal to rent out a New York City dwelling for less than 30 days when none of that dwelling's regular residents is at home is still unclear.
