Milford, Mass., Gen. Bylaws art. 37 (2009) § 6
Penalty
Operative Text
Any person or tenant violating any provision of this chapter shall be punished by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars ($300.00). Each day’s violation constitutes a separate offense.
Section 6 of Milford's General Bylaws Article 37 establishes a financial penalty for violations of the town's occupancy regulations. Any person or tenant found to have violated any provision of the chapter may be fined up to $300 per day, with each day of a continuing violation treated as a distinct, separate offense. This means that an unresolved violation can accumulate multiple fines over time rather than resulting in a single one-time penalty.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Article 37, § 6 of Milford's General Bylaws, property owners and managers who fail to comply with the chapter's occupancy requirements face fines of up to $300 for each day a violation persists. Operators who maintain properties in continuous compliance with the chapter's standards avoid the compounding effect of daily penalties. Keeping records of inspections, repairs, and corrective actions is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating ongoing compliance.

Article 37, § 6 of Milford's General Bylaws applies to 'any person or tenant,' meaning tenants themselves can be subject to fines of up to $300 per day for violations of the chapter's occupancy rules. Tenants who believe they are being cited unfairly, or who are aware of landlord violations under the same chapter, may wish to review the full text of Article 37 and consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Enforcement of this provision is handled at the local level in Milford, and residents can contact the relevant town department to ask questions about how complaints or citations are processed.
