Landscape Condition
Operative Text
Each rental dwelling shall be maintained by its owner, occupant, operator or agent so that the yards, open spaces and parking facilities are kept in a safe and attractive condition. Where a conditional use permit has been granted, the landscaping shown on the approved landscaping plan shall be considered as minimal and shall be maintained accordingly. Any deviation to species or material shall be equal to or better than originally approved. In addition, adequate lighting facilities shall be provided and operated between the hours of sunset and sunrise, and snow plowing or snow shoveling shall be regularly accomplished to maintain all sidewalks and parking areas in a safe and passable condition.
Rogers Code of Ordinances ch. 105, art. IV § 105-183 establishes that rental dwellings must have their yards, open spaces, and parking areas kept in a safe and attractive state. Where a conditional use permit exists, the approved landscaping plan sets the minimum standard, and any substitutions in plant species or materials must be equivalent or superior to what was originally approved. The rule also requires that adequate lighting be operational from sunset to sunrise, and that sidewalks and parking areas be kept clear of snow and passable at all times.

Operators of rental properties subject to Rogers Code of Ordinances ch. 105, art. IV § 105-183 generally maintain grounds, parking facilities, and open spaces in a condition that is both safe and visually acceptable. Those operating under a conditional use permit keep landscaping at or above the approved plan's specifications, documenting any species or material changes to demonstrate they meet or exceed the original approval. Compliant operators also ensure exterior lighting runs continuously from sunset to sunrise and establish a regular snow-removal routine for all sidewalks and parking areas.

Under Rogers Code of Ordinances ch. 105, art. IV § 105-183, tenants have an interest in rental property grounds, parking areas, and walkways being maintained safely, with functioning overnight lighting and cleared snow. If these conditions are not being met, tenants may consider documenting the issues with photographs and dates, then contacting the Rogers code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations in the area can also help residents understand what options are available when a landlord or operator is not meeting the landscape and safety maintenance standards set by this provision.
