Plain English

Richfield Code of Ordinances § 409 § 409.07 establishes that violations of the tenant relocation assistance requirements (§ 409.05) and the general rental regulations (§ 409.03) are administrative offenses subject to civil penalties. For a § 409.05 violation, the penalty is specifically set at the amount of required relocation assistance plus an additional $500. Each dwelling unit affected by a violation counts as its own separate offense, meaning penalties can multiply across multiple units.

For Property Managers

Under Richfield Code of Ordinances § 409 § 409.07, operators who fail to comply with the relocation assistance obligations of § 409.05 face a penalty equal to the full relocation assistance amount owed plus $500 per violation. Violations of § 409.03 are also administrative offenses subject to civil penalties under City Code Section 325. Because each dwelling unit constitutes a separate offense, compliant operators ensure that obligations are met for every unit individually, as exposure can compound quickly across a multi-unit property.

For Tenants

Richfield Code of Ordinances § 409 § 409.07 gives tenants a framework for understanding what consequences a landlord may face for failing to meet relocation assistance or other rental obligations under § 409.05 and § 409.03. If a landlord violates the relocation assistance rules, the penalty structure includes the full amount of assistance owed plus $500, and each unit is treated as a separate offense. Tenants who believe their landlord has violated these provisions may consider contacting the City of Richfield directly, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the violation can be raised in a relevant administrative or legal proceeding.
