Landlords and tenants are responsible for maintaining safe, clean, and attractive properties.

What are My Responsibilities as a Landlord?

In most cases the property owner is financially responsible for all Code Compliance fines, even when if the violation is caused by the tenant.

• Landlord responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Ensuring the residence/unit is fit to live in (habitable)
• Clean and sanitary buildings
• Grounds which are free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin
• Properly working plumbing (such as toilets, wash basins, tub/shower and hot/cold water), gas, heating, electrical systems and smoke detectors
• Proper connection to a sewage disposal system
• Trash receptacles in good working order
• Weather protection, including no broken doors or windows
