Geneseo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 96 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 96-31
Notice to tenants
Operative Text
All written rental agreements for rental buildings or structures within the Village of Geneseo must contain the following language in ten-point or larger type: "Please take notice that you and the landlord each have certain rights and responsibilities under Chapter 96 of the Village of Geneseo Code, (Village of Geneseo Rental Housing Law), a copy of which is available in the Village Hall, 119 Main Street, Geneseo, New York, 14454."
Section 96-31 of the Geneseo Rental Housing Law requires that every written rental agreement for a property in the Village of Geneseo include a specific notice informing both parties that rights and responsibilities exist under Chapter 96 of the Village Code. This notice must appear in type no smaller than ten points, and it must direct readers to Village Hall at 119 Main Street for a copy of the law. The provision ensures that tenants and landlords are made aware of the local rental housing framework at the time they enter into a written agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 96-31 of the Geneseo Code, compliant landlords include the prescribed Chapter 96 notice verbatim in every written rental agreement for Village properties, set in ten-point type or larger. Operators generally review their standard lease templates to confirm the exact required language is present before any agreement is signed. Keeping a copy of Chapter 96 on hand and knowing it is available at Village Hall, 119 Main Street, supports readiness to answer tenant questions about the notice.
