We got his butt tossed out! The people who rented his place were generally pretty nice, but they didn't know the house rules and couldn't get their keys to work in the front door and eventually a group of kids renting his place smoked in the hallways, which is when the co-op board members got tipped off. You'd think he'd know better than to try that crap, given that he had to submit a bunch of paperwork and interview to get into the sublet.<br /><br />The moral of the story: if you see this sort of stuff and don't like it, tell someone!12th streetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-15824277469904812572013-03-05T18:05:44.384-05:002013-03-05T18:05:44.384-05:00Trust-funders have no jobs or unwilling to work.

Even though their apts. are subsidized by mommy and daddy and that they have amonthly stipend, don't mean that they won't be renting out their apts. to make a few extra bucks to spend on that artisanal cocktails and food. As for your rental property as a Constitutional right to be able to rent it out, did mommy and daddy also purchase your education?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-20010557119487904982013-03-03T18:06:12.015-05:002013-03-03T18:06:12.015-05:00I don't think the trust fund brats need to ren...I don't think the trust fund brats need to rent out their apartments like this.

I refuse to believe that any native New Yorker would rent their place to a stranger who could be a potential Daniel Rakowitz or Ted Bundy. <br /><br />There are also those that say they do it because the economy is bad and they don't have a job. Well here's a novel thought, get a job. When I was between jobs I drive for a car service and was a delivery driver for a Chinese Restaurant. <br /><br />Most of these trust fund brats who do this don't know real struggle and are completely clueless to the danger they submit themselves and others too by doing this. This should be cracked down on. It's only a matter of time before there's a tragedy because of it.

After we had a year where a neighbor had sublet to Israeli college students, who then sublet and nightly rented the place out, I am very opposed.<br /><br /> The idea is interesting, but the concept of strangers coming in and out of supposedly secure homes is not cool. And people treat these like hotel rooms i.e. make noise, don't clean up, etc. Why should they? They are paying $200-300/nightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22561843613085011172013-03-01T10:17:18.046-05:002013-03-01T10:17:18.046-05:00Airbnb has a very long disclaimer freeing them of ...Airbnb has a very long disclaimer freeing them of the legal burden, and passes it onto the user. <br /><br />As a Landlord, I will tell you that I have seen bedbugs come from airbnb rentals on more than one occasion.

We have neighbors who rent to transients and it is a huge pain for the other residents of the building.
