Purpose
Operative Text
The purpose of this article is to establish good cause eviction protections in the Village of Croton-on-Hudson pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Article 6-A of the Real Property Law of the State of New York.
Section 186-1 of Croton-on-Hudson's Code of Ordinances establishes a local framework for good cause eviction protections within the Village, grounded in New York State's Article 6-A of the Real Property Law. The provision sets the foundational purpose of the article, signaling that evictions in the Village are subject to a 'good cause' standard rather than being permissible for any reason a landlord chooses. This section does not itself define the specific protections but frames the legal authority and intent behind the rules that follow.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 186-1, Croton-on-Hudson has adopted good cause eviction protections aligned with New York State's Article 6-A of the Real Property Law, meaning that rental property operators in the Village are generally expected to have a legally recognized reason before pursuing an eviction. Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with both the local ordinance and the underlying state law to understand what qualifies as 'good cause' in their jurisdiction. Staying current with the full chapter—not just this purpose section—helps operators understand the obligations that flow from this foundational provision.

Section 186-1 signals that tenants in Croton-on-Hudson have access to good cause eviction protections established under both local law and New York State's Article 6-A of the Real Property Law. This means that a landlord's ability to remove a tenant is not unlimited, and tenants may have grounds to challenge an eviction that lacks a legally recognized cause. Tenants who believe their eviction does not meet the good cause standard may explore options such as raising the issue as a defense in housing court or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about how these protections apply.
