Upstate New York Short Terms Rental laws are in the news again with the Town of Rhinebeck reconsidering the "residency" requirement of owners after a Federal Circuit Court ruled them unconstitutional. Will the Red Hook Short Term Rental Law be next to change? See analysis by Klose & Associates in the article below.

The home bearing this elegant Victorian facade is available as a short-term rental in the Village of Rhinebeck, which has separate regulations from those being contemplated for the town (image from VRBO). A federal appeals court ruling on a short-term rental (STR) law in Louisiana is already reverbe...

Sometimes you have stop and think about life. Thank you to my recent client who wrote this about his closing process.

(Nyack NY) Received a kind retrospective about the whole home sale closing process with a recent Nyack client who sold his home. Thought I would share his touching sentiments about the Lawyers and the Closing: "And then to the lawyers office. Where smart and clever counters look over what has been p...

Follow up on Tuesday’s Meeting

Disappointed that Red Hook town board is not really interested in studying the issues or narrowly tailoring the law to the actual facts.

Before the recent protests and resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, I was asked by a group of Realtors to present a continuing education program on Fair Housing. I poured over the various laws in New York, particularly in Rockland and Westchester County to find the status of the law. With help from the Rockland County Division of Human Rights, I presented a fairly bland state of affairs to a mostly attentive group using hypothetical scenarious. Though I have dealt with some complaints over the years, as an attorney, I never really saw the how discrimination worked or operated in my communities. Until today. Today, I stumbled upon this fine piece of investigative journalism, and I commend all to read and watch the documentary.

Newsday engaged the Fair Housing Justice Center in Long Island City, to help structure and implement testing and train testers, and then sent the results to two nationally recognized experts in fair housing standards to analyze the findings.

If steering was being conducted, Newsday contacted the real estate agencies and agents involved to make available a review of video we recorded of interactions among testers and agent and maps of listings offered. We invited them to meet with our reporting team to ask questions and to seek their reactions and responses. The Newsday team then reviewed the cases based on responses from agencies, agents and their representatives.

We sent white, black, Hispanic and Asian testers undercover to see if they would be treated equally by LI real estate agents. Many were not.
