Plain English

Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-25 establishes a baseline rule that any dwelling or dwelling unit offered for residential occupancy must meet all requirements set out in the applicable Division of the Town Code. The provision applies broadly to any person who rents out a living space, regardless of the type of arrangement. It functions as a blanket prohibition on renting non-compliant housing for residential purposes.

For Property Managers

Under Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-25, compliant operators ensure that every dwelling or dwelling unit they offer for rent satisfies all standards established in the Division before a tenancy begins. This typically means conducting regular inspections, addressing any code deficiencies proactively, and maintaining documentation that the property meets applicable requirements. Renting a unit that falls short of those standards is prohibited under this provision.

For Tenants

Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-25 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when a rented dwelling does not meet the Division's requirements, since no landlord is permitted to rent such a unit for residential occupancy. Tenants who believe their unit is non-compliant may consider contacting the relevant Greenwich municipal code enforcement office to report conditions or request an inspection. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify what remedies or defenses may be available under this provision.
