Brookhaven Votes to Penalize Short-Term House Rentals

The Brookhaven Town Board has decided to adopt a measure that permits Brookhaven Town to assess fines of up to $6,000, including a term of incarceration of up to six months, for those who rent their homes for fewer than 4 weeks at a time.  This recently adopted measure also makes it illegal to rent out swimming pools separately from a house. Some Fire Island communities are exempt from this new measure because of the prevalence of rental housing.  This new legislation continues a steady trend on Long Island of imposing more restrictions on short-term house rentals.  Short term rental companies and landlords face numerous challenges on Long Island.  On the North fork, for example, towns and villages are stepping up enforcement against owners who allow guests to stay fewer than 14 days.  Some officials are employing the use of artificial intelligence to police online listings or collect rental taxes.  It is meant to crack down on the growing trend of people who rent out their homes through services such as Airbnb, which has sometimes resulted in disruptive or destructive behavior by renters.

LI Homeowners and Landlords Struggle With Squatters

Homeowners and landlords across Long Island are facing a growing problem: squatters. Although squatters have historically created legal obstacles for landlords and homeowners, more and more people have taken advantage of “squatters’ rights,” resulting in homebuyers purchasing homes or homeowners who discover unknown individuals occupying their property without the permission of the homeowner. Squatters can potentially create legal complications that result in substantial costs for those who need to remove them from their property.

When renting an apartment it is important to know your rights as a tenant.  If you are renting in New York State, there are several rights that you have the second the lease is signed.  While these rights can vary slightly between cities, the general premise runs through each rental situation.  While a lease agreement may lead to more responsibilities of the landlord, there are three important rights that are in every lease agreement.

When AirBNB Goes Wrong

Many people have benefitted from the service that AirBNB provides. It allows people to find a place to stay where hotels might otherwise be too expensive or rare, and it allows others to make money from renting out their homes or apartments when they’re out of town. Everyone wins… provided that neither the “guest” nor the “host” do anything untoward. Because if they do, and you happen to be the landlord whose tenant became embroiled in an AirBNB-related debacle, you could have a major headache on your hands.

Attorneys and Real Estate Transaction

The real estate industry in New York is constantly changing. One aspect of this industry that has not changed too much in the past few decades is the role of an attorney in the process. When purchasing a home or a piece of property, the assistance of an attorney is necessary. An attorney with draft documents, aid in negotiations, assist in the closing of the deal, answer any abstract questions that may arise, and more. Without an attorney, purchasing a home would be challenging for those without experience with the process.

Reviews

Me encanta este lugar, siempre resuelven muy bien, todas las veces que e tenido un problema de tráfico me lo resuelven y a buen precio,, I love this places !!
Buenos abogados y las muchachas me ayudaron muy amablemente son las mejores
Response from the owner:Thank you Jose!
Absolutely a gem of an attorney. I walked into his office and explained my traffic issue to him, he understood my needs and confidently told me he’ll take care of multiple tickets. He then proceeded to do exactly that, even going to the prosecutor multiple times as he was unhappy with their initial offering.
Highly recommend this firm to anyone dealing with issues from the abysmal traffic authority of Long Island.
Response from the owner:Thank you Ahsan!
Recommend 100000%
A speeding ticket is always stressful specially when it is a out of state ticket. Hiring 'Daslin' to handle this speeding ticket was a great decision. She immediately jumped on my case and handled entire process/options and she also clearly explained what to expect. It was so impressive that i did not need to do anything at all and the ticket was dismissed😊😊. Thanks to her. I strongly recommend 'Daslin' for any traffic-related issue.
Response from the owner:Thank you Abraham
Chris was great, helped me with my landlord issue while being very informational and got right to business to get me back my deposit. Highly recommended !!
Response from the owner:Thank you Brian!
