Bedford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 130 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 130-10
Term of agreement
Operative Text
This agreement shall be effective September 1993, and shall expire three (3) years thereafter but may be extended for additional periods upon the express written agreement of the parties hereto. During its term, this agreement shall remain in force and effect unless and until the town shall adopt legislation subjecting apartments in multiple residence buildings in the town to the provisions of the ETPA or similar legislation. Upon adoption by the town of any such legislation, this agreement will terminate. This agreement will also terminate and be of no further effect upon the expiration of sixty (60) days after the ETPA or similar legislation shall have terminated without similar legislation having been enacted by the state, county or other municipal governmental authority having jurisdiction over the buildings that are subject to this agreement.
Section 130-10 of Bedford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 130 establishes the duration and termination conditions for a rent-related agreement that took effect in September 1993 and was set to last three years, with the possibility of extension by mutual written consent. The agreement automatically ends if the Town of Bedford enacts legislation bringing multiple-residence apartments under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA) or comparable law. It also terminates sixty days after the ETPA or similar state, county, or municipal legislation expires without a replacement being enacted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multiple-residence buildings covered by this agreement should be aware that under § 130-10, the agreement's continued force depends on the legislative landscape at both the local and state levels. A compliant operator generally monitors whether the Town of Bedford has adopted ETPA-equivalent legislation, since such adoption would automatically end the agreement's applicability. Operators also track the status of the ETPA itself, as its expiration without a successor law triggers a 60-day countdown to termination under this section.

Section 130-10 defines the lifespan of the protections established by this Bedford agreement, which matters to tenants seeking to understand whether those protections currently apply to their building. If the Town of Bedford has passed ETPA or similar legislation, or if the ETPA has lapsed at the state level without replacement, the agreement may no longer be in effect. Tenants with questions about the current status of this agreement can consult the Town of Bedford directly, review publicly available legislative records, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
