There is strictly no daily, weekly or other short term letting or exchanges allowed via online or other listing or exchange services including, but not limited to Airbnb, Craigslist, Homeaway, etc. Morton Barrow Owners Corporation has a zero tolerance policy for any subletting. Any violation will be considered a default of the proprietary lease and will result in fines and potential eviction.

1. All shareholders must reside in their unit for at least two (2) years before making an application to sublet. The minimum term of each sublease is one (1) year and all renewals must be re-approved each year. If renewal is not granted, subtenants and all occupants must vacate the premises upon the expiration date of the sublease. There is a three (3) year maximum limit on the total sublease period, including renewals. 2. A Shareholder interested in subletting their apartment must contact Property Management for eligibility and proper procedures. 3. Shareholders must confirm that all electrical wiring in the apartment is compliant with New York City Building Codes as a condition of eligibility for sublease. Proof of inspection may be required at the discretion of Property Management and/or the MBOC Board. 4. A Shareholder whose apartment is being financed must obtain prior approval to sublet from the lender / mortgage holder. 5. All Shareholders and Subtenants will be required to pay move-in / move-out fees as well as to follow standard move-in / move-out procedures. 6. All sublease agreements and all Subtenants must be approved in advance by the MBOC Board. 7. Shareholders approved for a sublease of their apartment will be subject to a Sublet fee for the duration of the sublease period. Sublet fees are based upon the number of shares held and will be assessed at $1.00 per share per month for the first year of the sublease, $1.50 per share per month for the second year, and $2.00 per share per month for the third year. 8. If a Shareholder defaults in payment of maintenance charges or any other Co-op fees or charges while subletting his/her apartment, the Board and Property Management may demand and receive from the subtenant the monies due to MBOC and apply such funds received directly to the debt. Such payment from the subtenant shall constitute a discharge of obligation of the shareholder for any amounts so paid. 9. At the Board's discretion, domestic pets may be allowed during the subtenant's occupancy provided that such pets have a veterinarian’s certificate of good health. Dogs must be licensed and kept leashed when in the common parts of the building. 10. At no time will the Corporation permit more than 15% of all sold units to be sublet. When this 15% limit is reached, the following rules and procedures shall apply: If a qualified shareholder is approved for a sublease, his/her unit becomes the next in line. The shareholder who has been subletting his/her unit for the longest period of time will receive a six-month written notice advising that their sublease will not be approved for renewal or extension at the end of the term. Such shareholder must either return to occupy their apartment, or declare that the apartment will be used as a pied-à-terre, on or before expiration of his/her approved sublease term. If the shareholder is required to return to residence in the building, or declare that the apartment will be used as a pied-à-terre, and he/she fails to do so on the date set forth in the notice, then he/she may be required to sell his/her shares. 1. Illegal subletting will result in a fine of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per day for the first instance. This fine will be doubled for each additional instance for repeat offenders. 2. There is strictly no daily, weekly or other short term letting or exchanges allowed via online or other listing or exchange services including, but not limited to Airbnb, Craigslist, homeaway, etc. Morton Barrow Owners Corporation has a zero tolerance policy for any subletting activity that is not compliant with the guidelines, rules and requirements listed above. Any violation will be considered a default of the proprietary lease and will result in fines and potentially eviction. 3. The Board in its sole discretion may waive any or all of the above rules, upon written request by a shareholder, based upon reasons of financial hardship, family or medical emergency, or other extenuating circumstances. Any waiver will be granted in writing by the Board and shall contain an explanation of the basis for the waiver. The Shareholder must furnish to the Board any update on the circumstance upon its request. The Board also reserves the discretionary right to rescind any sublease granted in good faith if the subtenant, after due warning from the Board, persistently contravenes the terms of the sublease, the Proprietary Lease or the Corporation's House Rules.
