1 Does the ownership side of a duplex need to be updated? No. Only the 2 rental unit is subject to inspection and updating (which is minimal - smoke 3 detectors and ground fnult outlets to protect renters). And, there is a 4 rentnl license release for family or extended fnmily renting nn adjoining unit 5 6 Rents will increase based upon fees? With a$50 per year license fee the 7 monthly costs is only $4.16 per month. A tenant would probnbly be willing to 8 pny that amount to be assured that the property is being maintnined and not 9 u safety or henith hnzard. Typical rents in Roseville for a 2-bedroom unit 10 average $10,200 a yenr and $850.00 per month(?) I1 12 Would prefer an inspection progrnm with no fee and only periodical 13 inspections. 15T year if comply, don't reinspect for 5 years. In five years, 14 based on Roseville turnover, many units will have seen 2 to 3 different 15 tenants. Five years does seem lax, perhaps two years nnd\or at tenant 16 turnover Council determines level of funding through levy or fees. This 17 would certainly increase levy amount (payment by all city tnx pnyers) to 18 cover full program and not chnrge a fee. Again, all absentee mnnoged units 19 must be inspected yearly or every-other-year for the program to be 20 effective, successful and somewhat self-supporting financially. 21 22 23 I would end with restnting that rental licensing, while viewed ns vital to the 24 city's future by staff, is an issue being driven by Roseville citizens 25 concerned about the negntive impact these rentnl/business properties are 26 having on their own homes property values and the livability of their 27 neighborhoods. Furthermore, that residents are frustrated with the City's 28 innbility to address the problems these properties cause. And lastly, that 29 becuuse the city is aging this is a problem which won't be going nway, but is 30 actually increasing and getting more significant each year. 10
