Zoning Ordinance Violation-City alleges <br />landlord violated ordinance by allowing <br />over-occupancy of rental property <br /> <br />Landlord claims ordinance violation requires intent and <br />affirmative misconduct <br /> <br />Citation: Weida v. City of West Lafayette, 896 N.E.2d 1218 (Ind. Ct. <br />App. 2008) <br /> <br />INDIANA (12/02/08)-The city had an ordinance (the "Ordi- <br />nance") that restricted the number of tenants in .rental housing to a <br />maximum occupancy of three unrelated persons. The Ordinance pro- <br />vided that it was "the continuing duty of the owner [of rental prop- <br />erty] to personally monitor the occupancy of each dwelling unit and <br />to ensure that it [wa]s not occupied by more persons than the maxi- <br />mum allowable occupancy." It was a violation of the Ordinance for an <br />owner to: (1) exceed the maximum allowable occupancy; (2) hold the <br />dwelling unit out for occupancy by more than the maximum allowable <br />occupancy; or (3) "permit or allow the dwelling unit to be occupied by <br />more persons than the maximum allowable occupancy." <br /> <br /> <br />r~iIJi~:P'#lf~'~7!.~~!:~!~~N:'f~~~*~~O~; <br /> <br />POSTMASTER:Serid address changes to, Zoning Bulletin, 610 6pperma~Drive: P.O.
