Operative Text
A form provided by the Police Department shall be completed by the landlord within five days of the date of leasing or renting and returned to the Police Department. Such form shall indicate the name and age of minor, address of such apartment and the person or persons leasing or occupying same.
Under Haverhill, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 202 § 202-2, when a residential unit is leased or rented, a Police Department form must be completed and returned to the Police Department within five days of the lease or rental date. The form captures the name and age of any minor involved, the address of the apartment, and the identity of the person or persons leasing or occupying the unit. This is a registration or notification requirement, not a substantive restriction on who may rent.

Under CH. 202 § 202-2, compliant landlords obtain the required form from the Haverhill Police Department and submit it, fully completed, within five days of executing a new lease or rental arrangement. The form must include the name and age of any minor, the apartment address, and the names of all lessees or occupants. Operators who manage multiple units generally build this five-day filing step into their standard move-in procedures to avoid missing the deadline.

CH. 202 § 202-2 places the filing obligation on the landlord, not the tenant, so tenants are not personally responsible for submitting this form to the Haverhill Police Department. However, tenants may be asked by their landlord to provide their name and, if applicable, the names and ages of any minors in the household so the form can be completed accurately. Tenants who have questions about how their information is used or stored may contact the Haverhill Police Department directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
