Unless the poster was registered as a licensed BnB in the city of New York with a lease that allowed said usage, they were violating their lease and the law. Under NY law, it is illegal to sublet your apartment without you being physically present. It's to prevent, among other things, situations like this, which are an annoyance and a danger to the other occupants of the building.

- copergi 13y agoViolating the law doesn't automatically violate any random contracts you have entered into.
- dangrossman 13y agoIf the violation of the law is the purpose of the contract, then it's not a legal contract. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_agreement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_agreement
- copergi 13y agoIt isn't the purpose of the contract, that's a complete non-sequitur.
