Haverhill, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 202 § 202-3 establishes penalties for landlords who do not provide required rental information to the Chief of Police or a designated representative. An initial failure to furnish that information carries a $50 fine. Each day that passes after the rental period begins without the required notification counts as a separate, continuing offense, meaning fines can accumulate on a daily basis.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CH. 202 § 202-3, compliant operators in Haverhill generally ensure that required rental information is submitted to the Chief of Police or the designated office before or at the start of each rental period. Because the provision treats every day of non-compliance after the rental period commences as a distinct punishable offense, operators typically maintain records confirming timely submission. Keeping dated copies of any notifications sent can help demonstrate that the reporting obligation was met.
