PREAMBLE
Operative Text
The city believes that providing for public health, safety and welfare to its citizens mandates the existence of a rental dwelling unit license and maintenance program that corrects substandard conditions and maintains a standard for rental dwelling units. (Ord. 82B, passed 2-16-2011)
Saint Bonifacius Ch. 150 Rental Housing § 151.02 establishes the city's foundational rationale for its rental housing program: protecting public health, safety, and welfare requires a licensing and maintenance system for rental dwelling units. The provision declares that substandard conditions must be corrected and that rental units must meet an ongoing maintenance standard. This preamble sets the policy intent behind the broader regulatory framework that follows in Chapter 150.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Saint Bonifacius § 151.02, the city's rental housing program is grounded in a public health and safety mandate, meaning operators of rental dwelling units are expected to participate in the city's licensing program and keep their properties in compliance with applicable maintenance standards. Compliant property managers generally ensure their units are licensed as required and address substandard conditions proactively. Familiarity with the full Chapter 150 framework helps operators understand how this preamble's stated goals translate into specific obligations.
