Southampton Village, NY Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

Chapter 89 was adopted 5-12-2022 by L.L. No. 6-2022 and amended in its entirety 8-14-2025 by L.L. No. 7-2025. Section 89-1 explains the purpose: the state Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 bars a landlord from requiring a single payment for the entire seasonal term, and Chapter 428 of the Laws of 2021 lifted that bar for registered seasonal units where the tenant has a primary residence to return to. Units rented for seasonal use are not required to be entered in the registry, but an owner who wants to collect all rent up front must register the unit.

Under § 89-3B the owner files a copy of the lease, which can have financial information redacted, along with an application. Section 89-3C requires the application to be signed by each owner and to contain: the owner's name and address; the address of the unit; the approximate number of tenants requested; a lease statement giving the tenant's primary address and stating the unit is registered as a seasonal use dwelling unit, with occupancy not exceeding 120 days, plus a landlord affidavit on that time frame; an owner affidavit accepting responsibility for refuse removal; the tenant's name and address; the period of occupancy; and an owner and tenant affidavit to follow Village laws on noise, parking and refuse. Section 89-3F adds a fee set by the Board of Trustees.

Once the items arrive, the Building Department registers the unit under § 89-3D. If the tenant changes, § 89-4D requires the application to be amended with the new tenant's name before that person occupies the dwelling. Section 89-5 revokes the registration of any unit for which the required lease was not filed or which fails the lease conditions.
