The names, addresses and phone numbers of every person or entity that has an ownership interest in the rental property and the primary contact person who shall be available to respond within 60 minutes to or investigate complaints during the entire time (24 hours per day) the property is being rented. If the property is owned by a commercial entity, a contact name and direct phone number shall be provided; B. The maximum occupancy and vehicle limits for the rental unit; C. Identification of the number and location of parking spaces provided; D. A statement that littering is illegal; E. A statement that all fires must be attended and that any outdoor fire located within the limits of the Town of Southeast must be extinguished no later than 9:30 p.m., must be within a fire pit or fire place, have a maximum flame height of 18 inches, and must comply with local burn bans as applicable. F. A statement that renters must comply with and be provided with a copy of the Noise Ordinance of the Town of Southeast, which prohibits plainly audible unreasonable noise, which ordinance will be enforced by the Enforcement Officer, Putnam County Sheriff's Department, New York State Police, or any law enforcement agency properly exercising jurisdiction over the rental property or incident; G. A statement that local law prohibits private displays of fireworks; H. Any conditions imposed by the Code Enforcement Officer; I. The permit expiration date; J. A statement that the rental occupancy permit may be revoked for violations; and K. A statement that the landlord is required to provide a written lease to all tenants renting a property for more than 30 days.
Section 108-7 of Southeast, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 specifies the information that must appear on every rental occupancy permit issued under this chapter. Required disclosures include owner and emergency contact details, occupancy and parking limits, fire safety rules, noise ordinance compliance obligations, fireworks prohibitions, and a note that the permit can be revoked for violations. The permit must also state that landlords are required to provide a written lease for rentals exceeding 30 days.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 108-7, a compliant rental operator ensures that every issued rental occupancy permit contains all enumerated disclosures — including a 24/7 contact person reachable within 60 minutes, maximum occupancy and vehicle limits, fire and noise ordinance statements, and the permit expiration date. Operators who own property through a commercial entity must supply a direct contact name and phone number on the permit. Landlords renting for more than 30 days are also required by this section to furnish tenants with a written lease, and should retain documentation showing that a copy of the Noise Ordinance was provided to each renter.

Section 108-7 entitles renters to receive a permit that clearly states occupancy limits, parking availability, fire safety rules, and the terms under which the permit may be revoked. Tenants renting for more than 30 days have a right under this provision to receive a written lease from the landlord. If a permit appears to be missing required disclosures or a written lease has not been provided, tenants may raise these issues with the Town of Southeast's Code Enforcement Officer or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
