Fort Plain, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 116-11
Severability
Operative Text
Each separate provision of this Local Law shall be deemed independent of all other provisions herein, and if any provisions shall be deemed or declared invalid, all other provisions hereof shall remain valid and enforceable.
Section 116-11 of Fort Plain's rental regulations establishes a severability rule, meaning that the various provisions of the local law are treated as legally independent from one another. If a court or other authority finds any single provision to be invalid or unenforceable, that determination does not affect the remaining provisions. The rest of the law continues to operate as written, regardless of what happens to any one part.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 116-11 provides structural assurance that the broader regulatory framework under Chapter 116 remains intact even if a specific requirement is successfully challenged. Operators who comply with the law's various requirements can generally rely on those other obligations remaining in force. Understanding this severability clause helps property managers recognize that compliance obligations do not disappear simply because one part of the code is contested.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 116-11 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in Chapter 116 are not automatically undone if a landlord successfully challenges a different part of the law. Each protection stands on its own legal footing. Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 116 have been violated may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or local housing authority to understand which provisions remain in effect and what enforcement paths are available.
