A majority of Manhattan city commissioners are interested in regulating and taxing short-term rentals. Short-term rentals (STRs), sometimes called vacation rentals, are places people stay for less than 30 days. They often use companies such as Airbnb or Vrbo to rent a space or an entire residence to people. Commissioner Linda Morse said at Tuesday’s meeting she would like to keep the process of regulating and taxing STRs “as simple as possible.” “I don’t want to add complications to it,” Morse said. “I hope some city has a good model we can follow, so we don’t have to recreate the wheel.”
