Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 122.03, compliant rental property operators in Hutchinson obtain and maintain a current rental unit registration from the City Administrator before allowing any occupancy. They ensure that either themselves or a designated property manager resides within 50 miles of the city, and they keep registration forms updated with accurate contact information, unit counts, occupancy limits, and the name of any repair-authorized representative. Every lease or rental agreement they use incorporates the required chapter provisions by reference, and each tenant receives a written notice that recites those provisions verbatim.

Section § 122.03 means that any rental unit you occupy in Hutchinson should be registered with the City Administrator, and your landlord is required to have a local point of contact within 50 miles of the city. Your lease or rental agreement should include — and you should have received a written notice reciting verbatim — the terms found in the other sections of Chapter 122. If you believe your unit is unregistered or that required disclosures were not provided, you may contact the Hutchinson City Administrator's office to inquire about compliance, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
