Mascoutah Ch. 29 Art. III § 29-3-25 establishes that the interior of every structure must be kept clean and sanitary, with no buildup of rubbish, refuse, or garbage allowed. Any rubbish, garbage, or other refuse that is temporarily stored inside must be held in proper storage facilities as specified in section 29-7-2. The rule applies to all structures and sets a baseline sanitation standard for interior spaces.

For Property Managers

Under Mascoutah § 29-3-25, compliant property operators generally maintain interior spaces free of accumulated waste and ensure that any temporary on-site storage of rubbish, garbage, or refuse is handled in containers or facilities that meet the requirements of section 29-7-2. Routine inspections of common areas, units, and storage spaces help operators identify and address sanitation issues before they rise to the level of a code violation. Keeping records of cleaning schedules and waste-removal arrangements can support a showing of ongoing compliance.

For Tenants

Mascoutah § 29-3-25 gives tenants a basis to expect that the interior of their structure be maintained in a clean, sanitary condition without accumulations of rubbish or garbage. If a landlord's failure to address waste buildup or improper refuse storage creates unsanitary conditions, tenants may have grounds to raise that violation through local code enforcement or property maintenance complaint channels. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Mascoutah's property maintenance code can help residents understand the options available to them.
