Section 190-6 of Elbridge, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 establishes the working definitions for key terms used throughout the chapter. 'Landlord' is defined broadly to include not just the property owner but also any person responsible for collecting rent, maintaining, or administering rental units. 'Rental Housing Unit' covers any dwelling or portion thereof occupied by someone other than the record owner, and 'The Uniform Code' refers to the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-6 of Elbridge's rental housing chapter, the definition of 'Landlord' is intentionally broad — it can apply to property managers, agents, or other responsible parties, not solely the deed holder. Operators who delegate rent collection or maintenance responsibilities should be aware that those individuals may also fall within the chapter's definition and its associated obligations. Understanding this scope helps ensure that all parties involved in administering a rental property recognize their potential responsibilities under ch. 190.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 190-6 establishes that a 'Rental Housing Unit' includes any dwelling or portion of one occupied by someone other than the record owner, meaning most rented living arrangements in Elbridge fall within the chapter's protections. The broad definition of 'Landlord' means that tenants may have recourse not only against a property's owner but also against a manager or agent who handles rent or maintenance. Tenants who believe their unit or their landlord's responsibilities are being mischaracterized under ch. 190 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full chapter for context.
