Rental Registration
The Rental Registration Ordinance was passed by City Council in 1996.
Enforcement of this ordinance began in 1997. A rental unit is defined as "a dwelling
or rooming unit not occupied by the person with legal title". The monies collected
for rental registration are used exclusively for the purpose of maintaining the Rental
Registration database and the administration of the program. The information contained is
used as a resource by the Housing Division. Because Summit County records, phone
directories and other directories do not always correctly reflect owner information (i.e.:
addresses & phone numbers), this database has become an invaluable resource for
contacting owners when an emergency arises.
When the Housing Division receives a formal complaint, it is imperative
that the sanitarian performing the inspection properly notifies the owner of record of any
violations found-- especially those of a life-threatening nature. Having a phone number to
reach an owner allows the sanitarians to communicate such problems as utility restorals
and open/vacant structures in a timely manner.
Rental Registration is enforced by the Service Department’s Housing
Division under the provisions of the Environmental Health Housing Code. Failure to
register rental units is a violation of the Housing Code, punishable by legal penalties.
