Elsewhere, Hoboken has taken a seemingly laissez-faire attitude towards Airbnb over the years, making no moves to regulate Airbnb-type rentals. One development, the
NoVia Lofts, was actually partially converted into short-term business rentals earlier this year.
But those apartments, like all Airbnb rentals in the Mile Square City, are currently not subject to the city’s hotel tax. While declining to provide specifics, city spokesperson Juan Melli told Jersey Digs that Hoboken “is currently reviewing its policies” in regards to short term rentals, and “Mayor Zimmer will work with the City Council to determine if any changes in our laws are necessary.”
Other local governments haven’t been so keen on Airbnb rentals. In December last year, Union City’s Board of Commissioners passed a “Peace and Good Order” resolution
banning residents from renting out their properties for fewer than 31 days, effectively barring Airbnb-type rentals completely. Violators of the law face a $250 fine.
