Colona CHAPTER 2 RENTAL HOUSING1 § 9-2-5
MINIMUM STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
Operative Text
The provisions of this Chapter 9-2-5 shall be held to be the minimum requirements with respect to houses, apartments, multiple-use dwellings, duplexes, hotels, motels and rooming houses for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, life and general welfare. (1997 Code)
Colona's Chapter 9-2-5 establishes a baseline floor of requirements that all covered rental housing types — including houses, apartments, multi-unit dwellings, duplexes, hotels, motels, and rooming houses — must meet. These standards are framed as minimums, meaning they exist to protect public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare. Nothing in this provision prevents additional or stricter requirements from being applied on top of these minimums.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Colona Chapter 9-2-5, operators of any covered rental property — from single-family rentals to rooming houses — are expected to meet at least the baseline standards set out in this chapter. Compliant operators typically treat these provisions as a floor, not a ceiling, and maintain their properties in a manner that satisfies all applicable health, safety, and welfare requirements. Familiarity with the full scope of Chapter 9-2-5 is generally part of responsible property management in Colona.
