Cortlandt, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 230 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 230-12
Collection of rents
Operative Text
No owner, agent or person in charge shall collect rents during any period of noncompliance with a notice to cure issued pursuant to this chapter which would otherwise be due and owing for the rental of the premises unless and until he or she shall have complied with the provisions herein.
Section 230-12 of Cortlandt's Code of Ordinances Chapter 230 prohibits any owner, agent, or person in charge of a rental property from collecting rent while a notice to cure issued under that chapter remains unresolved. The rent-collection right is suspended from the moment of noncompliance until the required cure is completed. Once the owner or agent comes into full compliance with the chapter's provisions, the ability to collect rent is restored.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 230-12, a compliant operator responds promptly to any notice to cure issued under Chapter 230 and does not attempt to collect rent until all cited violations have been remedied. Property managers typically document the steps taken to cure deficiencies and confirm compliance before resuming rent collection. Maintaining records of cure completion helps demonstrate that rent was not collected during any period of noncompliance.

Section 230-12 gives tenants a basis to contest rent demands made while an owner is out of compliance with a notice to cure under Chapter 230. If an owner or agent attempts to collect rent during such a period, that collection may be improper under this provision. Tenants who believe rent has been collected in violation of § 230-12 may consider raising the noncompliance as a defense in any rent-related proceeding or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
