Section 230-5 of Raynham's rental bylaw establishes how the rules are administered and what happens when they are broken. Enforcement authority rests with the Board of Health, and violations can result in fines of up to $100 per offense, with each day a violation continues counting as a separate offense. The section also includes a severability clause, meaning that if one part of the bylaw is found invalid, the rest remains in effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CH. 230 § 230-5, the Raynham Board of Health is the body responsible for enforcing the town's rental bylaw, and compliant operators generally act promptly to correct any cited violations. Because each day a violation persists is treated as a distinct offense carrying a fine of up to $100, operators who address deficiencies quickly tend to limit their exposure to accumulating penalties. Maintaining records of permit conditions and corrective actions taken is a common practice among property managers operating under this framework.

CH. 230 § 230-5 gives the Raynham Board of Health the authority to enforce the town's rental bylaw and to pursue fines against landlords who violate its provisions or permit conditions. Tenants who believe a landlord is in violation may consider contacting the Board of Health to report the concern, since the daily-offense structure means ongoing violations can accumulate penalties over time. Tenant-rights organizations in Massachusetts can help residents understand what options may be available when conditions covered by this bylaw are not being met.
