West Hampton Dunes, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 440 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 440-6
Written agreement or lease
Operative Text
A. Every owner shall enter a written agreement or lease with the tenants of a seasonal rental agreement which shall state the terms of that agreement, the names of the tenants that are included under that agreement and the names of the occupants of the premises. B. Each seasonal rental agreement shall state that the agreement and the tenancy thereunder may not be sublet or assigned and no shares or units of occupancy may be sold or transferred and that any sublet or assignment of the rental or seasonal rental agreement or sale or assignment of units of occupancy shall be a violation of this article and render the seasonal rental agreement as void. C. A copy of the rental or seasonal agreement must be maintained at the premises attached to each and every seasonal permit application. Owner shall submit a new seasonal permit application for each new tenancy and each new term granted.
West Hampton Dunes Code ch. 440 § 440-6 requires that every seasonal rental be documented in a written agreement or lease that identifies the tenants and all occupants and spells out the terms of the tenancy. The agreement must include an explicit prohibition on subletting, assignment, and the sale or transfer of any occupancy interest, and any such transfer automatically voids the agreement. A copy of the agreement must be kept on the premises alongside each seasonal permit application, and a new application must be filed for every new tenancy or new rental term.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 440 § 440-6, compliant seasonal rental operators in West Hampton Dunes prepare a written lease or agreement for every seasonal tenancy that names all tenants and occupants, states the rental terms, and contains the required anti-subletting and anti-assignment language. Operators keep a copy of that agreement physically at the rental premises, attached to the corresponding seasonal permit application. A fresh permit application is submitted each time a new tenancy begins or a new rental term is granted, ensuring the documentation on file always reflects the current occupancy.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 440-6 of the West Hampton Dunes Code gives seasonal tenants the right to receive a written agreement that clearly identifies who is covered, what the terms are, and that subletting or assigning the rental is prohibited. Because any sublet or assignment renders the agreement void under this provision, tenants should be aware that their occupancy rights cannot be transferred to another party. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to provide a proper written agreement or has otherwise not complied with § 440-6 may raise that non-compliance with local municipal authorities or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
