Under Lakeville Ch. 9 Rental Registration § 9-9-6, compliant rental property operators register with the city before placing any unit into residential rental use and ensure that every detail submitted on the prescribed registration form is accurate and truthful. Operators who manage properties through a business entity — such as an LLC or corporation — are equally subject to these requirements. Maintaining current, accurate registration records for each property is a standard practice for operators seeking to remain in good standing with the city.

Lakeville Ch. 9 Rental Registration § 9-9-6 means that tenants have a right to reside in a property whose owner or operator has lawfully registered it with the city before renting it out. If a tenant has reason to believe their rental unit was never registered, or that false information was submitted during registration, they may consider contacting the city of Lakeville directly to inquire about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Lakeville's ordinances can help explain what options may be available, including whether an unregistered status could be raised in a relevant proceeding.
