Raynham, Mass., Code of Bylaws ch 230 § 230-15
Severability (Raynham Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Parks)
Operative Text
[Amended 5-16-2022 ATM by Art. 26] If any provision of this bylaw shall be held invalid, the validity of the remainder of the bylaw shall not be affected thereby.
Section 230-15 of Raynham's Code of Bylaws establishes a severability rule for Chapter 230, meaning that if any single part of the bylaw is found legally invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the bylaw continues to stand on its own. This provision, amended at the 2022 Annual Town Meeting under Article 26, prevents a successful legal challenge to one clause from invalidating the entire ordinance. The rule is a standard legal safeguard commonly included in municipal codes.

Section 230-15 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in Chapter 230 are not automatically wiped out if one part of the bylaw is successfully challenged. Tenants can generally continue to rely on the remaining provisions of the bylaw when asserting their rights or raising a violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Raynham's local code can help clarify which protections remain in force under any given circumstance.
