Lansing — Ch. 16 Art. XIII Lansing Rental Housing Program § 16-614
Application for license
Operative Text
Application for a residential rental license shall be made in the name of the legal owner of the premises to be rented, submitted to the village clerk on forms dispensed by the building department. The application shall identify the location of the property; the name, address and telephone of the owner; the name, address and 24-hour telephone(s) of the manager or custodian of the property; the owner's agent for service of process; and such other information as the clerk may reasonably require. Each property address must have a separate application.
Under Lansing Ch. 16 Art. XIII § 16-614, a residential rental license application must be filed in the legal owner's name with the village clerk using forms provided by the building department. The application must include the property's location, the owner's contact information, the manager or custodian's contact details including a 24-hour phone number, the owner's agent for service of process, and any other information the clerk reasonably requires. Each distinct property address requires its own separate application.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking a residential rental license under § 16-614 of the Lansing Rental Housing Program generally submit a completed application form — obtained from the building department — to the village clerk in the legal owner's name. Compliant operators ensure the application includes the property address, owner contact information, a manager or custodian reachable around the clock, and a designated agent for service of process. Because each property address requires its own separate application, operators with multiple rental properties typically prepare and submit individual applications for each location.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 16-614 of the Lansing Rental Housing Program establishes that every residential rental property is required to hold a license obtained through a formal application process. Tenants can check with the village clerk's office to confirm whether a rental property has a properly filed license application on record, including verified manager or custodian contact information. If a property appears to be operating without a license or with incomplete registration, tenant-rights organizations or the village clerk's office can be useful starting points for understanding available options.
