Certain areas in Western New York have similar rules, including West Seneca, a suburb where my property is. What I did learn is that the program requires a 1-year lease. For 10 years I have been renting my units only month-to-month and had tenants stay from 2 years to 6 years, so I haven't had a problem. I also normally state that I haven't been inspected yet and most inquiring prospects don't call back or show up to open houses. I was instructed that I am not allowed to point out to the prospect that the program only accepts year long leases and not month-to-month, so I generally just state that I rent month-to-month and invite them to review the terms and conditions of their assistance program.
