Did you know that Suffolk County has an entire Chapter of Laws concerning the rental of property?
These laws regulate such things as the minimum terms of a written lease (1 year unless waived by the tenant); requirements if the property is in foreclosure (notice to tenants within 5 days of service); social service recipients (landlords data collected by DSS) and criminal (misdemeanors) and civil penalties (3x actual damages).
The key is to remember that multiple levels of government may regulate the same thing, a landlord must look not only to their Town or Village for laws, but also to their County, State and Federal Government for the laws to make money without violation.

The Federal Government is now rewarding those homeowners on Long Island who choose to “go green” by offering assistance in the form of low-cost loans for energy-efficient home improvements. The pilot federal program, PowerSaver, will provide loans of up to $25,000.00 at low interest rates during its two-year pilot period. In addition, The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority will offer local assistance of up to $13,000.00 for similar renovations. The Town of Islip will open its office in Bay Shore shortly to assist local-area homeowners apply for loans. Be on the look-out for the announcement next week of its opening date.
