Filing of rental agreement; identification of tenants
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter and an offense within the meaning of the Penal Law of the State of New York for any owner to permit any tenant or other person to take up residence by a rental occupancy without the owner first having filed with the Village Clerk a copy of the rental agreement and a form approved by the Code Enforcement Officer identifying the tenants. A rental agreement and new tenant identification form must be filed whenever a dwelling becomes vacant and the owner intends to permit a new tenant to take up residence.
Under Laurel Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 100 § 100-3, it is unlawful for a property owner to allow any tenant or other person to begin a rental occupancy without first filing a copy of the rental agreement and a completed tenant identification form with the Village Clerk. The tenant identification form must be one approved by the Code Enforcement Officer. This filing requirement is triggered both at the start of a new tenancy and whenever a dwelling becomes vacant and the owner intends to bring in a new tenant.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliant operators under Laurel Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 100 § 100-3 generally obtain the Code Enforcement Officer-approved tenant identification form before a new occupancy begins, complete it alongside a copy of the signed rental agreement, and submit both documents to the Village Clerk prior to allowing the incoming tenant to take up residence. This process is repeated each time a unit turns over and a new tenant is set to move in. Failing to complete this filing before occupancy constitutes a violation that carries potential Penal Law consequences under New York State law.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 100-3 of Laurel Hollow's Code of Ordinances places the filing obligation squarely on the property owner, not the tenant, meaning tenants are not responsible for submitting these documents. If a tenant has reason to believe their landlord did not comply with this provision — for example, that no rental agreement or identification form was filed with the Village Clerk before occupancy began — they may wish to contact the Village Clerk's office or the Code Enforcement Officer to understand the status of their tenancy's filing. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York municipal codes can help tenants understand how a landlord's noncompliance with § 100-3 might be relevant to their situation.
