Plandome Manor, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 165 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 165-4
Registration required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful for the owner of any building, or portion thereof, used for residential purposes to allow, permit or suffer the occupancy thereof as a separate dwelling unit for someone other than the owner without a rental registration pursuant to this chapter. It shall be immaterial whether or not rent or any other consideration is paid to the owner by the occupant of such dwelling unit.
Section 165-4 of Plandome Manor's Code of Ordinances establishes that any residential building or portion of a building occupied as a separate dwelling unit by someone other than the owner must be registered as a rental with the village. Notably, the requirement applies regardless of whether the occupant pays rent or any other form of compensation — even a no-cost or informal living arrangement triggers the rule. Allowing occupancy without that registration in place is a violation of the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 165-4, property owners in Plandome Manor who allow anyone other than themselves to occupy a residential unit as a separate dwelling are generally expected to obtain a rental registration before that occupancy begins. Compliant operators treat the registration requirement as a threshold step — one that applies even when no money changes hands, such as when a family member or friend lives in the unit rent-free. Maintaining current registration documentation and renewing it as required by Chapter 165 is a standard practice for operators seeking to stay in compliance.

Section 165-4 establishes that the dwelling unit you occupy should be covered by a valid rental registration issued under Plandome Manor's Chapter 165, and this protection applies whether or not you pay rent. If you have reason to believe your unit is not registered, you may contact the village directly to inquire about the registration status of the property. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County municipal codes can help you understand what options may be available if a landlord is operating without the required registration.
