Rent control rules in Oneida County, NY — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Oneida County is not covered by NYC/Westchester rent stabilization. NY Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA) applies statewide: security deposit capped at 1 month, 14-day rent demand notice, lease renewal notice periods based on tenancy length, late fees capped at 50 dollars or 5 percent.
HSTPA 2019 (L.2019 c.36) reformed statewide landlord-tenant law. While rent regulation is limited to designated emergency areas (not Oneida County), statewide provisions include: RPL 238-a limits application fees to 20 dollars, RPL 226-c requires 30/60/90 day renewal notice based on tenancy length, and RPAPL 711 requires 14-day rent demand before eviction filing.
