Bedford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 130 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 130-12
Primary residence
Operative Text
This agreement shall be applicable only to tenants who maintain their apartments in one (1) of the subject complexes as their primary residences.
Section 130-12 of Bedford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 130 limits the reach of the rent regulation agreement to tenants who use one of the covered apartment complexes as their primary residence. Tenants who maintain a different primary home — even if they also occupy a unit in a subject complex — fall outside the agreement's protections. The rule draws a clear boundary: primary-residence status is the threshold condition for coverage.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bedford Code § 130-12, operators of the subject complexes generally document whether each tenant's unit serves as that tenant's primary residence, since the agreement's obligations and protections apply only to qualifying tenants. Compliant property managers typically retain records — such as lease attestations or correspondence — that reflect the primary-residence status of occupants. When a unit is not a tenant's primary residence, the agreement's terms do not govern that tenancy.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 130-12 establishes that the rent regulation agreement covers only tenants who make one of the subject complexes their primary home, so confirming and documenting your primary-residence status is a foundational step in establishing your eligibility for the agreement's protections. If a landlord disputes your primary-residence status, that dispute directly affects whether Chapter 130's provisions apply to your tenancy. Tenants who believe their coverage is being wrongly denied may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing the full text of Bedford Code Chapter 130 to understand available remedies.
