Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Saint James Rental Housing § 92.07, operators of residential rental properties with five or more apartments are expected to furnish a dumpster of suitable size at no cost to tenants. Compliant property managers typically assess the dumpster capacity relative to the number of units and ensure it is consistently available. Non-compliance with this section can put a dwelling unit rental license at risk of suspension or revocation, and may also expose the operator to misdemeanor liability.
