White Plains, N.Y., Mun. Code ch. 4-29 § 4-29-5
Duration of license
Operative Text
Licenses shall be valid from January 1 through December 31 of a given year unless sooner terminated or revoked.
Under White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-29 § 4-29-5, rental licenses issued in White Plains run on a calendar-year cycle, beginning January 1 and expiring December 31 of the same year. A license may end before December 31 if it is terminated or revoked by the appropriate authority. This means operators must renew their licenses each year to remain in compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-29 § 4-29-5 establishes that rental licenses expire at the end of each calendar year, so compliant property operators typically track renewal deadlines and submit applications before January 1 to avoid a lapse in licensure. Operators also remain aware that a license can be revoked or terminated before year-end, which would require prompt action to address any underlying compliance issues. Maintaining an active, unrevoked license throughout the year is a standard part of operating a licensed rental property in White Plains.

White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-29 § 4-29-5 establishes that a landlord's rental license is only valid through December 31 of the year it was issued, and can be revoked or terminated even earlier. Tenants who have concerns about whether their rental unit is covered by a current, valid license may contact the appropriate White Plains municipal office to verify licensure status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain what options may be available if a rental property is found to be operating without a valid license.
