This was in the iLoveinns news this morning:
Airbnb Inc. will need to share the names and addresses of hosts in New York City with officials thanks to a new law, the latest setback for the home-rental company in one of the world’s largest tourism destinations. The law passed 45-to-0 in a city council vote in July. Chris Lehane, head of global policy at Airbnb, said the policy will subject innocent hosts to over-policing and violates their privacy.
And in Ireland - Airbnb hosts’ details that will be handed over to the Revenue Commissioners include the name of hosts, how much they earn, the address of the property listed on Airbnb, the host’s home address, expenses such as cleaning fees, and the date of the first booking.
