Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 433-15
Collection of rent
Operative Text
The following shall be conditions precedent to the collection of rent for the use and occupancy of any dwelling unit: A. The issuance of a rental occupancy permit for the premises, as required by § 433-4 . B. The filing of a valid rental registration form for the tenancy as required by§ 433-14 .
Under Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 § 433-15, a landlord's ability to collect rent for a dwelling unit is conditioned on two prerequisites being met: a valid rental occupancy permit must have been issued for the premises under § 433-4, and a valid rental registration form for the tenancy must have been filed as required by § 433-14. If either condition is not satisfied, the landlord has not met the legal threshold for rent collection. This rule ties the right to receive rent directly to compliance with the village's permitting and registration requirements.

Operators of rental dwelling units in Farmingdale should be aware that § 433-15 makes both a current rental occupancy permit and a filed rental registration form conditions that must be satisfied before rent can lawfully be collected. Compliant operators generally ensure the occupancy permit required by § 433-4 is obtained and kept current, and that the registration form required by § 433-14 is filed and valid for each tenancy. Maintaining documentation of both items for each unit is a common practice among operators seeking to remain in compliance with this provision.

Under § 433-15 of the Farmingdale Code of Ordinances, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their landlord holds a valid rental occupancy permit and has filed a proper rental registration form, because those are conditions the law places on the landlord's right to collect rent. If a landlord appears to lack either the permit required by § 433-4 or the registration required by § 433-14, that noncompliance may be relevant to a tenant's rights and could potentially be raised as a defense in a rent-collection proceeding. Tenants who have questions about their landlord's compliance with § 433-15 may wish to contact the Farmingdale village offices or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are generally available.
