Barnesville Rental Unit Registration and Regulations § 150.047 establishes that no rental unit within the city may be occupied, rented, or made available for occupancy unless the City Clerk has issued a valid registration for that unit. The registration application must capture specific details about the property owner, a local property manager within 60 miles of the city, the property address, unit types and counts, maximum occupancy per unit, and the contact person authorized to arrange repairs. This framework creates a public record of rental housing and the responsible parties connected to each property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 150.047, compliant rental property operators in Barnesville obtain a registration from the City Clerk before allowing any unit to be occupied and keep that registration current. Operators ensure their application accurately identifies an owner or property manager living within 60 miles of the city, lists all unit types and their maximum occupancy limits, and names a repair-authorization contact if that person differs from the owner or manager. Allowing a unit to be occupied without a valid registration is explicitly unlawful under this section, and penalties are referenced in § 150.999.

Section § 150.047 requires that any rental unit a tenant occupies in Barnesville must be registered with the City Clerk, meaning landlords are legally obligated to obtain that registration before renting. Tenants who believe their unit may be unregistered can contact the City Clerk's office to verify registration status or inquire about how to report a potential violation. Local tenant-rights organizations can also help tenants understand what options may be available when a landlord has not complied with § 150.047's registration requirements.
