Airbnb is providing the New York Attorney General’s office with the names of 124 of its hosts under the disclosure agreement that the Internet company reached with the office this spring.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman requested the names based on an analysis of information of about 16,000 hosts that have used Airbnb’s website to advertise the availability of their homes or bedrooms for short-term rentals. The information was provided on an “anonymized” basis, meaning the identities of the hosts were not revealed (NYLJ, May 22).
