Under § 18-307, operators of residential rental properties in Sterling face daily fines ranging from $100 to $750 for each day a violation of Ch. 18 Art. XI remains unresolved. Compliant operators generally ensure that all registration statements and amendments are accurate and complete, since intentional submission of false information triggers a separate penalty layer of up to $750.
