Highland is the center of the Town of Lloyd, just across the Mid-Hudson Bridge from our Poughkeepsie office, and about one Lloyd household in three rents. Our local, family-owned team has managed Hudson Valley rentals since 2005 and now oversees more than 1,000 units. Highland owners get the same fast response as our Poughkeepsie clients.

Highland landlord rules to know in 2026
Good Cause Eviction doesn't apply in Lloyd. The Town of Lloyd is not on DHCR's 2026 list of Good Cause opt-in municipalities. The nearby Village of New Paltz is, with a 345% exemption, about $6,272 for a two-bedroom in Ulster County, which matters if you own on both sides of that line.
Short-term rentals need two approvals. Under Town Code §100-42.1, stays under 30 days need a Planning Board special use permit and a Building Department STR permit. They're allowed only with single- and two-family homes in certain districts, never on multifamily parcels, and permits run two years with annual inspections.
No rental registry. Lloyd has no general rental license, and it isn't in the state Lead Rental Registry. Check with the Building Department about permits for accessory apartments or conversions.
Know the local numbers. HUD's 2026 Fair Market Rent for a two-bedroom in Ulster County is $1,818. Ulster County's 2023 survey sampled 26 Lloyd units and found no vacancies.
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.
