Supplement to application required for change in rental
Operative Text
A. A one-family dwelling utilized as a seasonal rental shall not be used or occupied by any person who is not listed as a tenant or occupant in the lease other than invitees and guests for lawful purposes. B. In the event that a person who is not so listed is expected to use or occupy the dwelling, a written, signed and verified supplement to the seasonal rental agreement or lease shall be obtained by the owner. Such supplement shall contain the name and permanent residence address of such person together with such other reasonable information as the administrator may deem necessary to facilitate enforcement of this article. A copy of the supplement shall be maintained at the premises and provided to the Village on request.
West Hampton Dunes Code ch. 440 § 440-16 governs who may occupy a one-family dwelling used as a seasonal rental. Only individuals named in the lease as tenants or occupants may use or live in the property, with an exception for invitees and guests visiting for lawful purposes. If anyone else is expected to stay or use the dwelling, the owner must obtain a written, signed, and verified supplement to the rental agreement that identifies that person by name and permanent address, along with any other information the administrator considers necessary. A copy of this supplement must be kept at the property and made available to the Village upon request.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 440-16, operators of seasonal rental properties in West Hampton Dunes are generally expected to ensure that every non-guest occupant is named in the lease or in a properly executed written supplement. A compliant operator prepares a signed and verified supplement whenever an unlisted person is expected to use or occupy the dwelling, capturing that person's full name and permanent residence address along with any additional details the administrator may require. Operators also keep a copy of each supplement on-site and have it ready to produce to the Village if requested, maintaining an accurate occupancy record throughout the rental season.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 440-16 of the West Hampton Dunes Code establishes that tenants in seasonal rentals have a defined right to have guests and invitees visit for lawful purposes without triggering the supplement requirement. If you expect someone beyond the listed occupants to stay or use the dwelling in a more than incidental way, the owner is responsible for obtaining the required written supplement — tenants should be aware that this process exists and that the supplement must be kept at the premises. If questions arise about occupancy rights or compliance under this provision, tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney familiar with New York municipal law can help clarify how § 440-16 applies in a given situation.
