For Property Managers

Under § 20-173 of the Benton Harbor Code of Ordinances, operators of rental properties subject to the annual registration requirement should be aware that the Distribution provision governs how program-related materials or notices reach landlords and tenants. Compliant property owners and managers generally ensure they have current contact information on file with the city so that any distributed notices or registration materials are received in a timely manner. Staying current with the annual registration process under Ch. 20, Art. VI helps avoid gaps in receiving required communications.

For Tenants

Section 20-173 of Benton Harbor's rental property registration ordinance concerns how information related to the annual registration program is distributed, which can affect whether tenants receive notices tied to their rental unit's registration status. Tenants who believe they have not received required information or notices under Ch. 20, Art. VI may consider contacting the Benton Harbor city offices responsible for housing or code enforcement to inquire about their unit's registration standing. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Benton Harbor's local ordinances can also help explain what distribution requirements may apply and what options are generally available.
