Under Amesbury, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 376 § 376-6, property owners who host guests are required to supply each guest with a community information card. This card must cover several specific topics: contact details for the Amesbury Police and Fire Department, the community's noise policy, parking rules for the property, the locations of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and guidance on trash and recycling. The rule establishes a baseline of safety and community-awareness information that every guest must receive.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CH. 376 § 376-6, compliant operators typically prepare a standardized community information card that covers all six required categories: emergency contacts for the Amesbury Police and Fire Department, the local noise policy, property-specific parking parameters, detector locations, and trash and recycling instructions. Operators generally ensure this card is updated whenever any of the underlying details change—such as a new parking arrangement or updated pickup schedules—and that it is distributed to every guest at or before check-in. Keeping a record of when and how the card is provided can support a showing of compliance.

As a guest covered by CH. 376 § 376-6, you are entitled to receive a community information card from the property owner that includes emergency contacts, noise and parking rules, detector locations, and waste disposal information. If this card was not provided, that may constitute a failure to comply with the bylaw, and guests or community members can raise such concerns with the relevant local authority in Amesbury. Tenant-rights organizations or local municipal offices can help clarify what options are available when a required disclosure is not made.
