In Queens County, New York, short-term rentals (often referred to as STRs) are permissible under strict regulations imposed by the city. Following the implementation of Local Law 18 on September 5, 2023, hosts must register with the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement (OSE) to operate legally. The regulations stipulate that only the host's primary residence can be rented out, and they must be present during the rental period if it is less than 30 days, allowing a maximum of two guests at a time. Properties that thrive in this environment are predominantly residential apartments, as rural cabins or detached houses are less common in urban areas. The market caters largely to tourists due to its proximity to major attractions in New York City, although some business travelers also utilize these rentals. Violations of the local rental rules can result in fines ranging from $1,000 to $7,500, emphasizing a highly regulated atmosphere for short-term renting in the area.
