Plain English

Lansing's Ch. 1460 Rental Properties (§§ 1460.44–1460.52) makes clear that the remedies spelled out in the rental property code are not the only tools available to the City. Beyond whatever enforcement mechanisms the code itself provides, the City retains the full range of legal remedies it would have under common law or other statutes. In other words, the code's remedies are additive, not exclusive.

For Property Managers

Under Ch. 1460 (§§ 1460.44–1460.52), property owners and managers should understand that the City of Lansing is not limited to the specific penalties or procedures listed in the rental code when pursuing enforcement. Compliant operators generally stay current with all applicable local, state, and common-law obligations—not just the code's explicit requirements—because the City may draw on a broader legal toolkit. Reviewing the editor's note at § 1460.51 may provide additional context relevant to how these remedies interact.

For Tenants

This provision in Ch. 1460 (§§ 1460.44–1460.52) signals that the City of Lansing has broad authority to act when rental property violations occur, which can work in tenants' favor when the City pursues enforcement. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating the rental code may consider filing a complaint with the appropriate City department, which can then draw on multiple legal avenues to address the issue. Tenant-rights organizations in the Lansing area can help explain what enforcement paths may be available under both the code and other applicable law.
