Hopewell Junction landlord rules to know in 2026
Good Cause Eviction doesn't apply here. The Town of East Fishkill is not on DHCR's 2026 list of Good Cause opt-in municipalities. Its neighbor, the Town of Fishkill, opted in, so check which town your property is actually in.
Short-term rentals must register. Under Town Code Chapter 152A, stays of 30 days or less must be registered with the Building Department, pass an annual fire inspection and pay a $500 yearly fee. They're barred in the R-1/2, R-1/3 and R-1/4 districts, and an owner or agent must be able to arrive within 60 minutes.
Accessory apartments need permits. Check the Town of East Fishkill's permit rules before you rent one.
No rental registry. East Fishkill has no general rental license, and it isn't in the state Lead Rental Registry. Federal lead-paint disclosure still applies to homes built before 1978.
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. Raising rent 5% or more, or not renewing, requires 30, 60 or 90 days' notice.
