Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CH. 144 § 144-9, operators seeking a conversion or eviction license from the Board generally ensure that a $50 filing fee accompanies each application at the time of submission. Without the fee, the Board will not accept the application. Landlords who believe they may qualify for a fee waiver can submit an affidavit of indigency for the Board's consideration, though the decision to grant a waiver rests solely with the Board.
