Rent control rules in Huntington, NY — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Huntington is not subject to NYC Rent Stabilization but NY Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA) applies statewide. Security deposits capped at 1 month, no application fees over $20, 30/60/90-day notice required for non-renewal depending on tenancy length.
HSTPA 2019 fundamentally restructured NY landlord-tenant law. Security deposit max 1 month (Gen. Obligations Law 7-108), itemized return within 14 days. Application fee max $20 (including background/credit check). Late fees capped at $50 or 5% of rent, whichever is less. Notice to terminate: 30 days (under 1 year tenancy), 60 days (1-2 years), 90 days (2+ years). Eviction requires court proceeding; no self-help. Rent increases over 5% trigger extended notice. Rent stabilization opt-in available for Emergency Tenant Protection Act municipalities (Huntington has not opted in townwide).
Violations of HSTPA expose landlords to treble damages, attorneys fees, and potential civil penalties.
