Good Cause Eviction applies in Binghamton, subject to the statute's property, tenancy, rent and owner exemptions.
The local small-landlord exemption is portfolio-wide: an owner with no more than 1 unit anywhere in New York State is exempt. It is not a building-unit threshold.
The HCR notice is the current authoritative opt-in list. A buyer must test beneficial ownership across the statewide portfolio and the unit's rent against the current county/bedroom FMR before treating the protection as binding.
Exemptions
- A unit rented above 345% of the applicable HUD Fair Market Rent is exempt.
- Other statutory exemptions include qualifying owner-occupied small buildings, newer construction, regulated and subsidized housing, and specified employment or transient tenancies; confirm ownership, notices and unit status.
