Fishkill sits where Route 9 meets I-84, and its large complexes keep vacancy near 1%, so every condo, townhouse and home competes on price and upkeep. Our local, family-owned team has managed Hudson Valley rentals since 2005 and now oversees more than 1,000 units, including rentals across the Town and Village of Fishkill.

Fishkill landlord rules to know in 2026
Good Cause Eviction applies in the Town. The Town of Fishkill opted into the state law with an exemption for units renting above 345% of HUD's Fair Market Rent, about $6,828 for a two-bedroom in Dutchess County. Renewal increases above this year's 8.38% local rent standard (5% plus DHCR's 3.38% inflation figure) can be challenged.
Check the exemptions. Owners with only one rental unit anywhere in New York are exempt, and so are buildings first occupied in 2009 or later. We confirm each unit's status before renewals.
Town or Village matters. The Village of Fishkill, the historic Main Street (Route 52) area, is a separate government and isn't listed on its own on DHCR's opt-in list. Permits and code enforcement also differ, so we confirm the jurisdiction at onboarding.
No rental license, but permits apply. Neither Fishkill requires a general rental license, and neither is in the state Lead Rental Registry. Accessory apartments need a Town building permit.
Short-term rentals. The Town has no short-term rental permit law as of 2026, but stays under 30 days owe room occupancy tax. Confirm your zoning with the Town before listing.
State rules apply everywhere. Security deposits are capped at one month's rent, an itemized statement is due within 14 days of move-out, and late fees can't start until rent is more than five days late and are capped at $50 or 5%, whichever is less.
This information is general and not legal advice. Rules change often; consult an attorney or the municipality for your specific situation.
