Applicability; more restrictive provisions to prevail
Operative Text
A. Scope. This chapter shall apply to all rental properties, short-term rental properties and rental dwelling units located within the Town of Greece, except this chapter shall not apply to the following: (1) Rental properties with three or fewer dwelling units located at premises bearing the same tax account number where such owner resides, unless said rental property is operated as a short-term rental property, in which case the owner shall comply with § 162A-7 herein. (2) Rental properties with multiple dwelling units and common areas that require operating permits under Chapter 114 of the Code of the Town of Greece. B. More restrictive provisions to prevail. The provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, and nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Town, county, or state or existing requirements of any other applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. In case of conflict between any provision of this chapter and any applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, the more restrictive or stringent provision or requirement shall prevail.
Greece, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162A § 162A-3 establishes which rental properties fall under the town's rental regulations chapter and how that chapter interacts with other laws. Most rental properties and short-term rentals within the Town of Greece are covered, but owner-occupied properties with three or fewer units sharing the same tax account number are generally exempt — unless they operate as short-term rentals, in which case certain short-term rental rules still apply. When this chapter's requirements conflict with other applicable state or local rules, whichever standard is stricter governs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 162A § 162A-3, operators of rental properties in the Town of Greece generally confirm whether their property falls within the chapter's scope before assuming an exemption applies. Owner-occupants with three or fewer units on the same tax account should note that the exemption does not extend to short-term rental activity, which triggers compliance with § 162A-7. Because this chapter supplements — rather than replaces — state and local law, compliant operators typically review all applicable regulatory layers and follow whichever requirement is most stringent.

Ch. 162A § 162A-3 means that most tenants renting within the Town of Greece are covered by this chapter's protections, and those protections stack on top of any rights already provided by state or local law. If a landlord claims an exemption, tenants can look to whether the property meets the specific criteria — such as owner-occupancy and unit count — set out in this section. Tenants who believe this chapter applies to their situation may raise a potential violation with the Town of Greece directly or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
