New York Housing Rules for 30+ Day Furnished Stays

Subletly is built around mid-term stays of 30 days or longer. These notes help renters and hosts spot the issues they should review before booking.

1. Know the Difference Between Short-Term and 30+ Day Stays

New York City has special registration rules for rentals under 30 consecutive days. Subletly bookings should be structured as 30+ day stays, but users should still confirm that their lease, building rules, and local requirements allow the arrangement.

2. Review the Lease Before Listing or Booking

Leases may restrict guests, roommates, assignments, subleases, furnished rentals, or platform listings. Hosts should confirm what their lease permits before accepting a booking.

3. Landlord Consent May Be Required

Depending on the lease and the type of housing, a tenant may need landlord consent before another person occupies the home. Keep consent, approvals, and important communications in writing.

4. Use Official Sources for Rule-Specific Questions
