Topic for this paper:
Recently in NYC airbnb and short term rental properties have been made illegal and prohibited for stays 
under 30 days to rent, the policy was made an into effect recently by the city of new york. 
My propoistion is a policy to introduce fair transactions and regulation in making short term rentals safe and 
sufficient in completion by contract between host and individual renting the place. 
Please find below the links to recent problems associated with the industry and the reasoning to why airbnbs were made illegal in NYC. 
**Focus on research specfically why  NYC banned airbnbs and come up with the best policy alternative for 
new regulation.  Be creative! (See instructions above)
