Summary
Short-term rental guests in Cheektowaga cannot park an RV or camper in the driveway, and tent camping in the yard is off-limits too. Section 201-6J applies this ban to every registered short-term rental unit in the Town, on top of the property's normal parking rules, and a violation counts against the rental permit itself.
J. No RVs or Campers are to be parked in the driveway and no tent camping in the yards on the property being leased.

Full Breakdown
Section 201-6J is a two-part rule aimed at short-term rental sites specifically: no RVs or campers are to be parked in the driveway and no tent camping in the yards on the property being leased. It sits inside § 201-6's broader list of prohibited activities at short-term rentals, alongside the bar on registering an accessory building, trailer, or camper van itself as the rental unit (§ 201-6D) and the party and vehicle-assemblage limits of § 201-6I. Because the rule is written into the prohibited-activities list, a violation is not just a parking issue, it is a strike against the rental's Code Enforcement Officer-issued permit: § 201-12A(2) makes failing to comply with any requirement of Chapter 201 grounds for immediate suspension or revocation, and § 201-12A(3) does the same for any Town Code violation tied to the premises.
The rule applies regardless of how many vehicles the driveway could otherwise fit, and it applies for the life of the short-term rental use, not just at move-in, since the Code Enforcement Officer can reinspect the property during the permit term under § 201-9G.
Violations & Fines
Parking an RV or camper in the driveway, or allowing tent camping in the yard, violates § 201-6J and is punishable the same as any other Chapter 201 violation: a fine set by Town Board resolution under § 201-19A, with each day of the violation a separate offense. It is also independent grounds for the Code Enforcement Officer to suspend or revoke the short-term rental permit under § 201-12A(2).
