For Property Managers

Under § 29-3-26, compliant property operators generally ensure that public halls and stairways remain free of accumulated garbage or refuse at all times. This typically involves establishing clear waste disposal procedures for tenants, providing adequate trash receptacles in appropriate locations, and conducting regular inspections of shared spaces. Operators who maintain documented inspection routines are better positioned to demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
