Glenwood — Ch. 26 Art. XI Landlords § 26-805
Minimum requirements
Operative Text
Nothing contained within this article shall prevent a landlord(s) from including a crime free housing addendum or similar requirements that are stricter than the requirements of section 26-803 as part of any lease.
Glenwood Ch. 26 Art. XI § 26-805 establishes that the baseline standards set out in the article function as a floor, not a ceiling, for lease requirements. Landlords retain the ability to include crime-free housing addenda or comparable provisions in their leases that go beyond what § 26-803 mandates. The rule does not restrict private lease terms that are more stringent than the article's minimum standards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 26-805, operators who wish to include a crime-free housing addendum or similarly restrictive lease clause are not barred from doing so by Ch. 26 Art. XI, provided those terms exceed—rather than fall below—the minimums established in § 26-803. Compliant operators typically review any addenda they use to confirm those provisions are consistent with applicable fair housing laws and local ordinances beyond this article. Keeping documentation of any addenda used, and ensuring they are presented as part of the lease process, reflects standard practice under this framework.

Section 26-805 means that a landlord may present a lease containing a crime-free housing addendum or stricter conditions than those required by § 26-803, and such terms are not automatically prohibited by this article. Tenants who receive a lease with such an addendum may want to review whether those additional terms comply with other applicable laws, including fair housing protections. Tenant-rights organizations and local legal aid offices can help individuals understand how addenda of this type interact with broader housing law.
