Your consumer rights in New York

Rental platforms and hosts must follow clear statutory boundaries. Here is the exact structural leverage you hold when submitting a formal notice.

Governing statute — New York

New York General Business Law § 349 (deceptive acts and practices) and Penal Law § 250.45 (unlawful surveillance)

Statutory leverage

actual damages, statutory damages up to $1,000 per violation, attorney's fees, and felony criminal exposure for covert recording in private dwellings

Why this is actionable — Undisclosed Hidden Camera

Representing a rental property as a secure, private accommodation while hiding recording devices is a textbook unfair and deceptive business practice. State privacy laws draw a hard line at the expectation of privacy — any internal cameras in bedrooms, bathrooms, or living spaces that were not explicitly disclosed before booking violate standard consumer protection guidelines and platform Trust & Safety policies.

Remedy

Full refund of all booking, cleaning, and platform fees, immediate cancellation of the remainder of the stay at the platform's expense, and removal of the host from the platform pending Trust & Safety investigation.

Evidence to lock in your dispute

Photograph the device in place from multiple angles, capture the exact room and position, screenshot the listing description (which should disclose any indoor cameras), save the booking confirmation, and preserve any platform chat where the host failed to disclose the device.

Crucial tactic: File a parallel local police report — most jurisdictions criminalize covert recording in private spaces. The police case number transforms your complaint from a customer service ticket into a Trust & Safety legal matter the platform cannot ignore.
