There is a roommate law and the primary resident must be in the apartment with the roommate, as for renting a room for money, people do it though it should not be done, but many people claim it's a guest, friend, relative when in reality it's a way for them to make money. It should not be allowed. The roommate law really should be looked into, it is clearly not used correctly. Also, after 30 days the person can claim they live there and it would be difficult to get them out, but most people play with that rule also.

Of course the roommate law should be allowed. There are very good reasons for it. Please do not respond further . Thank you. You are ill - informed.
DM - Suggest that you re-read the post from Curious. They are saying that the roommate law in context to the subject matter, "Air BNB" should not be allowed and should be modified. Other than disagreeing (and being rude - "it's an idiotic posting") your responses provide no value to any of us readers. Suggest you read the following article on a recent bill that was passed so that YOU are better informed. https://skift.com/2016/07/18/measuring-the-impact-of-new-yorks-new-short-term-rental-law-on-airbnb/
