A Bed-Stuy homeowner says NYC's Airbnb ban is hurting her and other homeowners

An effort to revive Airbnb in New York City is not going well, after a city councilmember significantly amended the legislation meant to legalize more short-term rentals. The original bill would allow owners and occupants of one- and two-family homes to host renters for less than 30 days without being present.

Margenett Moore-Roberts is a homeowner in Bed-Stuy who is no longer able to rent out her extra room. She's also part of an advocacy group of one and two family New York City homeowners called “Restore Homeowner Autonomy and Rights.” She talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson  about how the Airbnb ban in New York City is affecting her and other small homeowners.
