Permit required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful to use, establish, maintain, lease or let any premises, entirely or partially for residential occupancy, where any rent or other consideration is paid, charge is made or services are rendered in exchange for such use or occupancy, without first having obtained a permit therefor, as required by this chapter.
Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 § 107-6 establishes that any premises used for residential rental purposes — whether the entire property or only a portion of it — must have a valid permit before it can be rented or occupied in exchange for rent or other consideration. The rule applies whenever any form of payment or service is exchanged for the right to occupy the space. Operating a rental unit without first securing this permit is a violation of local law.

Section 107-6 of Brightwaters's ch. 107 means that a landlord is legally required to hold a valid permit before renting out any residential space to you. If a rental unit lacks the required permit, that absence may be relevant to the tenancy's legal standing and could be raised as a concern with local municipal authorities. Tenants who believe their unit is being rented without the required permit may wish to contact the Village of Brightwaters or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what options are generally available.
