For Tenants

Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-31 also applies to occupants, meaning tenants share a general obligation to comply with the Division's requirements during their occupancy. Tenants who believe a property owner is failing to meet the Division's standards may have grounds to raise that failure as a relevant issue in housing proceedings or file a complaint with the appropriate local authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Greenwich housing regulations can help clarify what the Division requires and what options may be available.
