Operators of rental properties and lodging houses in LeRoy Village should ensure that no tenant is assigned or permitted to sleep in kitchens, nonhabitable spaces, or public areas, as these uses are expressly prohibited under ch. 128 § 128-10. Lodging house operators must verify that any communal kitchen used for dining meets the 100-square-foot minimum floor area requirement and that dining occurs only in designated dining spaces. Cellar spaces must not be represented, leased, or maintained as habitable living areas under any circumstances.

Under LeRoy Village Code ch. 128 § 128-10, tenants have a right to housing that is not configured in ways that violate these prohibited-use standards — for example, a landlord may not lawfully rent a cellar space as a habitable unit or require a tenant to sleep in a kitchen. If a rental arrangement appears to conflict with these prohibitions, tenants may consider raising the violation with local code enforcement authorities or contacting a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Documenting the physical conditions of the space, such as photographs and written communications with the landlord, is a common step tenants take when pursuing a complaint.
