Jordan City Code § 124.07 defines what counts as 'unlawful conduct' on a licensed rental property for purposes of the city's residential rental licensing chapter. The determination is made by the Police Department when it has probable cause to issue a citation to tenants or their guests for violations of specified state statutes or City Code provisions, covering activities such as gambling, prostitution, controlled-substance offenses, unlawful alcohol sales or underage alcohol use, disorderly conduct that disturbs neighboring occupants, and unlawful weapons offenses. The provision does not itself create new criminal offenses but instead ties existing state and local law violations to the rental licensing framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.07, a licensed rental property can be implicated in the city's conduct standards when the Police Department finds probable cause to cite tenants or guests for any of the enumerated offenses — from gambling and controlled substances to disorderly conduct and weapons violations. Operators who maintain clear lease terms prohibiting these activities, document their response to reported incidents, and cooperate with the Police Department generally demonstrate the kind of active property management the licensing chapter contemplates. Keeping records of lease agreements, tenant communications, and any police contact related to the property supports a landlord's ability to show compliance with § 124.07.

Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.07 establishes that 'unlawful conduct' on a licensed rental property is determined by the Police Department based on probable cause to issue a citation — not a conviction — for a defined list of offenses involving tenants or their guests. Because a finding of unlawful conduct under this section can affect the property's rental license, tenants should be aware that the conduct of guests they invite onto the premises may be attributed to the licensed unit. Tenants who believe a citation or conduct finding under § 124.07 was issued in error may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand available options.
