Less than five apartments | No license required
Five to ten apartments | $35.00
Excess of ten | $35.00 plus $2.50 for each additional apartment in excess of ten
C. For purposes of this section, units located on contiguous sites or on the same street or adjacent streets may, at the discretion of the city, be combined to determine total units for a license.
D. In addition to the semiannual fees set forth in subsection 4.05.130 (B), an apartment house renting to transient guests, as that term is defined in chapter 4.48 , is also subject to the transient lodging taxes as set forth in chapter 4.48 .
E. To obtain and maintain a valid apartment house business license, the licensee must identify its designated manager(s), as defined in this section, and provide proof to the department and the police department that said manager(s) has completed the landlord training program within 90 days of the issuance of the license.
F. A person licensed as the operator of an apartment house shall notify the department of any change to the designated manager of the apartment house within 30 days of when the change occurs. Newly hired or designated managers must complete the landlord training program within 90 days of the date of hire.

All apartment house licensees and applicants with applications currently on file with the city as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section shall have until 180 days from the effective date of the ordinance to provide proof to the division that they are in compliance with the landlord training program requirement.
I. The division, at its sole discretion, may extend any compliance period set forth in this section up to an additional 90 days upon a showing of good cause as to why the licensee was unable to satisfy the compliance period; or upon notification from the police department that the available landlord training programs offered could not accommodate the number of managers requiring certification within the time period for compliance.
J. Failure to comply with any provision of this subsection constitutes a violation of this title and shall subject the licensee to the penalties available under this title.
