Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-5
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
This Part 1 shall not apply to mobile homes and mobile home courts or to transient-type occupancies and uses, including but not limited to nursing and convalescent homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, farm labor camps, travel trailers and trailer parks and other forms of temporary housing.
Section 122-5 of Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 carves out specific categories of housing from the rent regulations established in Part 1. Mobile homes, mobile home courts, and a range of transient or temporary occupancy types—such as hotels, motels, nursing homes, tourist camps, and trailer parks—fall entirely outside the scope of these rules. Occupants and operators of those excluded property types are neither protected by nor subject to the requirements of Part 1.

Operators of conventional rental housing in Highland Falls should be aware that § 122-5 defines the boundaries of Part 1's applicability, and that compliance obligations under Part 1 do not extend to mobile home courts, hotels, motels, nursing homes, or similar transient facilities. Landlords who own a mix of property types should carefully assess whether each property falls within or outside these exclusions. Those operating only excluded property types generally have no obligations under Part 1, while those operating covered residential units remain fully subject to its requirements.

Under § 122-5 of Highland Falls Code ch. 122, tenants living in conventional rental housing are generally covered by Part 1's protections, but residents of mobile homes, hotels, motels, nursing homes, and similar transient facilities are not. If there is any question about whether a particular living arrangement qualifies as a covered tenancy or falls under one of the listed exclusions, a tenant-rights organization or local housing authority may be able to help clarify the distinction. Understanding whether Part 1 applies is an important first step before exploring any rights or remedies it might otherwise provide.
