Questions
Would it be sufficient to simply get the airbnb receipt ?Is it okay to use airbnb so that it can be charged to a grant ? [Jc: Checking with our Finance department]- Guys, keep in mind that a Airbnb host in NYC was in serious legal trouble recently. Airbnb "urges hosts to learn about and obey all of the local laws in their cities", however many (*many*) rentals on Airbnb are just sublets, which are often prohibited by landlords. While only the hosts was sued, you never know what could happen to the renter in the process (i.e. you).
- Conclusion: Airbnb is not an option
