Owners register new tenancies and pay annual fees for rent-stabilized units; since 2023, most for-profit multifamily rentals built after July 1979 and rented single-family homes and condominiums also have registration duties.

Registration is broader than rent stabilization and includes most non-owner-occupied residential rental property.

Confirm initial building registration, current tenancy registration, and annual fee status in the Landlord Service Portal.
