Tarrytown, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 184 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 184-2
Good Cause Eviction Law opt-in
Operative Text
The Village of Tarrytown opts in and adopts the provisions of the New York Good Cause Eviction Law (Real Property Law Article 6-a ), as same be amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein by reference, except as may be modified in this chapter.
Section 184-2 of Tarrytown's Code of Ordinances formally adopts New York State's Good Cause Eviction Law (Real Property Law Article 6-A) as local law for the Village of Tarrytown. By opting in, the village extends the state law's tenant protections—which generally limit a landlord's ability to evict without a legitimate reason and restrict certain rent increases—to covered residential tenants within Tarrytown. Any future amendments the state makes to Article 6-A are automatically incorporated, except where Tarrytown's own Chapter 184 modifies the state provisions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 184-2, residential property owners and managers operating in Tarrytown are subject to the Good Cause Eviction Law's requirements, meaning that lease non-renewals and eviction proceedings generally must be grounded in a recognized lawful basis as defined by Real Property Law Article 6-A. Compliant operators typically document the specific cause for any eviction action and ensure that any rent increases fall within the thresholds the law contemplates. Because Chapter 184 may modify certain state-level provisions, operators generally review both the state statute and the local ordinance together to understand their obligations.

Section 184-2 means that tenants in covered Tarrytown rentals benefit from the protections of New York's Good Cause Eviction Law, which generally requires landlords to have a legitimate reason before refusing to renew a lease or initiating an eviction. Tenants who believe an eviction or non-renewal lacks good cause may be able to raise that as a defense in a housing court proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Real Property Law Article 6-A and Tarrytown's local Chapter 184 can help residents understand whether their tenancy is covered and what general options exist.
