Rental Housing
Introduction
Rental housing property owners are required to obtain an annual City license. Rental housing licensing is regulated by the provisions of Section 714 Rental Licensing. The licensing requirements pertain to all rental housing, including non-owner occupied single-family detached, single-family attached and multi-family housing units. The intent of the rental housing licensing program is to ensure that rental housing units are maintained in accordance with the City's regulations and will not become a nuisance or negatively influence a neighborhood.
