The City recognizes a need for an organized registration <br />program for residential rental properties with less than five dwelling units in order to identify and <br />quantify rental units and to provide information and a method to enforce standards to meet City <br />and State safety, health, fire, and zoning codes. The implementation of a rental registration <br />program is a mechanism to help ensure that rental units will not become a nuisance to the <br />neighborhood; will not foster blight and deterioration; and/or will not create a disincentive to <br />reinvestment in the community. Furthermore, the operation or rental units entails certain <br />responsibilities. Owners of rental units are required to take the reasonable necessary steps to <br />ensure that the citizens who occupy rental units may pursue the quiet enjoyment of the normal <br />activities of life in the surrounding area that are: safe, secure, and sanitary; free from crimes <br />and criminal activity, noise, nuisances or annoyances; free from unreasonable fears about <br />safety of persons and security of property; and suitable for raising children. <br /> <br />335.02 Definitions.
