R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 31-44.2 § 31-44.2-6
Appeals
Operative Text
Appeals of actions brought under this chapter shall be pursuant to § 9-12-10.1.
Rhode Island General Laws § 31-44.2-6 establishes that any appeal arising from an action brought under Chapter 31-44.2 must follow the procedures set out in § 9-12-10.1. This provision does not create new appeal rights on its own but instead directs parties to an existing statutory framework that governs how such appeals are conducted. The effect is to integrate this chapter's enforcement actions into Rhode Island's broader appellate process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 31-44.2-6, property owners or managers who face an adverse action under Chapter 31-44.2 and wish to challenge it must look to § 9-12-10.1 for the applicable appeal procedures. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with that cross-referenced statute so they understand filing requirements, deadlines, and procedural steps before any dispute arises. Consulting the full text of § 9-12-10.1 alongside this chapter is a standard part of understanding the overall regulatory framework.

Section 31-44.2-6 means that if an action under Chapter 31-44.2 produces an outcome a tenant believes is incorrect, the avenue for appeal is governed by § 9-12-10.1. Tenants generally have the right to participate in or respond to appeals filed under this framework, and understanding the procedures in § 9-12-10.1 can help clarify what steps are available. A tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Rhode Island housing law can help explain how this appellate process works in practice.
