North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 8-10
Nontransferability
Operative Text
No license issued under the provisions of this chapter shall be transferred or assigned to anyone other than the licensee to whom it was issued.
Under North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 § 8-10, a rental license issued to a specific licensee is personal to that individual or entity and cannot be passed along to another party. The license does not travel with the property or the business — it is tied exclusively to the person or entity that originally received it. Any purported transfer or assignment of such a license is prohibited under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 § 8-10 generally ensure that a valid license is held in the name of the current owner or managing entity at all times. When ownership of a rental property changes hands, compliant operators obtain a new license in the new owner's name rather than relying on the prior owner's license. Keeping licensing records current and tied to the correct legal entity is a standard practice under this nontransferability rule.
