Canton Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 183 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 183-5
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
This chapter shall not apply to mobile homes and mobile home courts, or to transient-type occupancies and uses including, but not limited to, nursing and convalescent homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, farm labor camps, travel trailers and trailer parks, and other forms of temporary housing.
Section 183-5 of Canton Village's Code of Ordinances (Chapter 183) carves out specific categories of housing from the chapter's coverage. Mobile homes, mobile home courts, and a range of transient or temporary occupancies—such as nursing homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, farm labor camps, and travel trailers—are explicitly excluded from the rules that otherwise govern rental housing under this chapter. The provision signals that the chapter's protections and requirements are aimed at more permanent, conventional residential arrangements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties listed in § 183-5—including hotels, motels, mobile home courts, nursing homes, and similar transient or temporary facilities—should be aware that Chapter 183 of the Canton Village Code does not govern their operations. Landlords managing conventional residential rental units, however, cannot rely on this exemption simply because their property shares characteristics with excluded categories. Compliance-minded operators typically review whether their specific property type falls clearly within or outside the § 183-5 exclusions before determining which local regulations apply.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you reside in a facility that might fall under the § 183-5 exemptions—such as a motel used as longer-term housing, a mobile home park, or a nursing facility—Chapter 183 of the Canton Village Code may not extend its protections to your living arrangement. Tenants in conventional rental units, by contrast, are generally covered by the chapter's provisions and are not affected by this exclusion. Those uncertain about whether their housing type qualifies as exempt under § 183-5 may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general guidance.
