Why do you keep talking about LA when OPs clearly say they are in NYC?

2nd in LA they can evict 1 tenant for immediate family- or mgr, who has to live there for 2 years
so if it’s being rented out & no immediate family member- its a ruse fraud & illegal.
new owner of blding did that to tenant- put it up for rent- not for family member
guy who got evicted left w/out speaking to me,I would have told him what to do; thought he got good payout, put down on house…. found out afterward he spoke to 3 others, falsely evicted.
this is going on all over Los Angeles; housing & authorities lookout theft, the other way unless you complain to the right agency. sure its same in NY. they try to evict on false grounds. not attacking families, single. he thinks vulnerable. small bldg. he paid too much, then assumed he could evict- or harass few single tenants. no ones moved in 7 yrs, some here 25-35 years. In most of LA county rent control, only 3% yearly increase. also he can evict only 1 tenant for fake family member. not as many as he wants. there is small forced eviction fee, not enough.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! but you have to complain to agency with jurisdiction.
if I got roommate, had ok when I moved in years ago, there would be no tax.
I was concerned about theft,my safety. now wonder about how airbnb operates

I used to pay the Transient Occupancy Tax (hotel tax) out of my earnings. Since August 2016, Airbnb has been paying the Transient Occupancy Tax for all Airbnb listings in Los Angeles.
