Showing ordinances that apply to Seneca Knolls, NY
Seneca Knolls is an unincorporated community (population 1,992) in Onondaga County, New York. Because Seneca Knolls is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Onondaga County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The rent control rules below are the ones that govern your area.
NY Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA) applies statewide. Rent stabilization covers NYC and Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA) municipalities. Onondaga County has NOT opted into ETPA, so Syracuse is not rent-stabilized, but HSTPA tenant protections (security deposit cap, notice requirements, late fees) apply.
HSTPA 2019 caps security deposits at 1 month, requires 30/60/90-day notices for rent increases over 5% or non-renewal based on tenancy length, and limits late fees to $50 or 5% of rent (whichever is less). Evictions must go through Syracuse City Court or town/village justice courts. No local rent control in Onondaga County.
Security deposit violations: return plus damages. Improper notice: defense to eviction. Excess late fees: recoverable by tenant.
