Lynwood Ch. 54 § 54-266 establishes a process that affects the licensing of rental properties, which in turn can have implications for tenants living in or seeking housing in those properties. If a landlord's license has been denied, tenants may want to understand how that status affects their housing situation by reviewing the denial and hearing procedures outlined in this provision and section 22-29.
