Landlord and Tenant Resources <br />The City will make the following resources available on a voluntary basis. <br />• Crime Free Housing lease language <br />• Rental unit walk through/Certificate of Occupancy ($51) <br />• Attorney General resources for Landlords and Tenants <br />Evaluating Future Program Changes <br />The City acknowledges that a significant issue does not exist today. Issues with property maintenance of <br />rental properties are the exception, not the norm. The goal of this program is prevention. The City will <br />continually monitor the quality of the housing stock, including rental properties. The City will look for <br />clusters of data that represent potential neighborhood issues, and re-evaluate the effectiveness of the <br />program at that time. Below are the factors that the City will continue to monitor. <br />1. Clusters of violations of public nuisance code and exterior maintenance. If the City determines <br />there is sufficient empirical data to support a broader issue, the City will consider adding <br />inspections of the exterior of the property. If implemented, the intended approach would be a <br />tiered approach. In the tiered approach, high scoring properties would receive less frequent <br />inspections and lower license fees. <br />2. Clusters of violations of interior building codes. If the City determines there is sufficient <br />empirical data to support a broader issue, the City will consider adding inspections of the <br />interior of the property. Such violations include improper egress, safety devices (smoke <br />detectors, CO2 detectors, etc.), and unauthorized conversions of single -unit dwellings into <br />multiple. If implemented, the intended approach would be a tiered approach. In the tiered <br />approach, high scoring properties would receive less frequent inspections and lower license <br />fees. <br />
