Monroe Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 158-9
Presumptive evidence
Operative Text
The presence or existence of any of the conditions set forth in Village Code § 200-33 shall create a rebuttable presumption that a property is being operated as a rental property.
Monroe Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 § 158-9 establishes that when certain conditions listed in Village Code § 200-33 are found on a property, the law automatically treats that property as a rental operation unless the owner can demonstrate otherwise. This is known as a rebuttable presumption, meaning the burden shifts to the property owner to disprove the rental classification. The rule is designed to prevent property owners from avoiding rental-property regulations by simply claiming a property is not being rented.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Monroe Village Code § 158-9, property owners should be aware that specific physical or operational conditions described in § 200-33 can trigger an automatic legal assumption that their property is being used as a rental. Compliant operators generally keep documentation—such as utility records, occupancy records, or ownership-use evidence—that can rebut such a presumption if it arises. Being proactive about understanding which conditions are listed in § 200-33 helps operators avoid unintended classification as a rental property.

Monroe Village Code § 158-9 may be relevant to tenants who are uncertain whether their housing situation is subject to the village's rental property regulations. If the conditions outlined in § 200-33 are present, the property is presumptively treated as a rental, which can support a tenant's position when raising compliance issues with village authorities. Tenants who believe this provision applies to their situation may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the village's enforcement process for rental property regulations.
