Do I need to register a rental?

Yes. Before a tenant moves in, the owner files a rental registration form with the Village Clerk, with a copy of the lease and a tenant identification form. Brokers file within 5 business days. If the owner doesn't live in the building, it is presumed to be a rental. We don't file rental permits; this is for your information.
