Dayton Ch. 113 Rental Dwellings § 113.137 establishes that the City Council must designate a Hearing Officer to manage the appeals process for rental dwelling matters. This Hearing Officer sets the policies and procedures governing when, where, and how appeals are conducted, following the framework of § 10.98 of the Zoning Code. Importantly, the Hearing Officer's authority is bounded — they cannot override or nullify any part of Chapter 113 itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.137, property owners who wish to appeal a decision related to their rental dwelling must follow the procedures established by the Hearing Officer, including any rules about scheduling, location, and format of hearings. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the Hearing Officer's published policies — which are set pursuant to § 10.98 of the Zoning Code — before initiating an appeal. Knowing in advance that the Hearing Officer cannot waive or override any provision of Chapter 113 helps operators set realistic expectations about the scope of relief available through this process.

Section 113.137 of Dayton's Rental Dwellings chapter gives tenants access to a formal appeals process overseen by a City Council-appointed Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer publishes the rules for how, when, and where appeals are heard under § 10.98 of the Zoning Code, and those procedures are a useful starting point for understanding how to participate in a hearing. Tenants who believe a decision affecting them warrants appeal may wish to review those published procedures or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on navigating the process.
