Arbitration Success: Ruling That Airbnb Acted as an Illegal Real Estate Broker in NY

During a 104-day NYC Airbnb stay plagued by unsafe conditions and unwelcome host intrusions, I won arbitration for Airbnb’s unauthorized real estate broker practices. Seeking pro bono legal referrals.

Having experienced a similar situation with extended stays under less-than-ideal conditions, I found the key to a successful arbitration was meticulous documentation. In my case, comprehensive records of all incidents, host communications, and any safety concerns contributed significantly when challenging practices that weren’t in line with local regulations. While I did not reach the same legal milestone, navigating through mediation and seeking out community advice greatly eased the process. The experience has highlighted for me the importance of record-keeping and persistence in these disputes.

hey sam, congrats on that arbritration win! it really shows airbnb’s underhanded moves. hope you land a legit pro bono lawyer soon. keep us in the loop on your next steps, been through similar issues and it’s a rough ride.
