I own a Legal 2 Family home in Nassau county and have rented the upper unit to a single male for 7 years now with no rent increases and no lease..The unit has 2 bedrooms ,2 livingrooms 1 kitchen and our agreement 7 years ago was that me & my husband would live in florida for 6 months and NY 5-6 months. My tennant has access to our furnished bedroom and family room but when me or my husband are in NY he does not use our bedroom/livingroom, we just lock the door otherwise he is free to use our space but he usually does not. In 2008 our Village mandated to controll renting by having us fill out an application for rental, am I mandated to list all names living in the units, my name & my Husbands? I consider ny my domicle not Florida and do not take a Florida exemption but I do get the star exemption, am I breaking any laws? The application also asks for proof of our residency, do I show a Florida utility bill, or NY proof? I'm living like a scared animal and am thinking about selling the house because of all this stress? One other item I do have a bar sink in my bedroom area, is this breaking the law and considered having 2 kitchens? I have no stove. My husband is 75 and we are sooo stressed. Thanks for your advise
