OWNER VIOLATIONS
Operative Text
A. The following shall constitute violations of this chapter: 1. Failure of the owner of a rental residential building to license such rental residential property or building with the Administrator. 2. Failure of the owner of a rental residential building to vacate all tenants from said building within forty five (45) days after the license has been revoked. 3. Failure of the owner of the rental property to maintain the structure and premises in compliance with applicable building, property maintenance and zoning ordinances in this Code. (Ord. 18-994, 6-12-2018)
Under Inverness CHAPTER 15 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING CODE § 3-15-12, three categories of conduct by a rental property owner constitute violations: failing to obtain a license for the rental property from the Administrator, failing to vacate all tenants within 45 days after a license has been revoked, and failing to keep the structure and premises in compliance with applicable building, property maintenance, and zoning ordinances. These rules establish baseline operational and safety obligations that apply to owners of residential rental buildings in Inverness. The provision was adopted by Ordinance 18-994 on June 12, 2018.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners of residential rental buildings in Inverness generally maintain compliance with § 3-15-12 by ensuring their property is licensed with the Administrator before renting to tenants and keeping that license current. If a license is revoked, the provision requires that all tenants be vacated within 45 days, making timely action on license-related matters a key operational concern. Ongoing compliance also means keeping the structure and premises in conformance with the building, property maintenance, and zoning ordinances referenced in the Inverness Code.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 3-15-12, tenants in Inverness rental properties have an interest in knowing whether their building is properly licensed with the Administrator, since an owner's failure to license or maintain the property constitutes a violation of the Residential Rental Housing Code. If a building's license has been revoked, the provision places a 45-day vacate obligation on the owner, which may affect tenants' housing situations. Tenants who believe their landlord is in violation of this section may consider contacting the Inverness Administrator, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the violation can be raised in any relevant legal proceeding.
