After due notice to all property owners within 800 feet of the subject premises and a public hearing on such application, the Board of Trustees may grant such exemption and impose any conditions as may be deemed reasonable or necessary. No exemption shall be granted pursuant to this section, except upon a determination in the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees that severe and substantial financial hardship exists as a result of the application of the provisions of this section and the granting of the application will not have a significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
Kings Point Code ch. 122 § 122-3 establishes the scope and core prohibitions of the village's rental permit system. Rentals are restricted to occupancy by individuals who together constitute a 'family' as defined in § 161-3, and each rental period must be at least thirty consecutive days. Accessory facilities cannot be rented independently of the main dwelling, and a permit does not legalize any use that is otherwise prohibited under other laws. Property owners facing severe and substantial financial hardship from these rules may apply in writing to the Board of Trustees for an exemption, which requires public notice and a hearing before any relief can be granted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kings Point Code ch. 122 § 122-3, compliant operators ensure that every rental is made only to occupants who qualify as a 'family' under § 161-3 and that no rental period is structured for fewer than thirty consecutive days. Operators also confirm that the property is a legal family dwelling and do not rent accessory structures separately from the main residence. Landlords who believe the chapter's requirements create a severe and substantial financial hardship may submit a written exemption application to the Board of Trustees, which will schedule public notice and a hearing before deciding whether to grant relief.

Kings Point Code ch. 122 § 122-3 sets out who may lawfully rent property in the village and under what conditions, including the requirement that rentals go only to qualifying 'family' occupants and last at least thirty consecutive days. Tenants should be aware that a rental permit issued under this chapter does not itself make a rental arrangement legal if it violates other applicable laws. Those who believe a landlord is operating outside these requirements may raise the relevant provisions with local code enforcement or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nassau County housing regulations.
