For Property Managers

Operators holding a rental housing license in Linwood Township should be aware that under ch. 8, art. V § 8-334, the town board has authority to suspend or revoke a license upon finding an article violation. Compliant operators generally keep their permanent residential address current on the license application, since that is where official notices—including hearing dates—are delivered. Maintaining records of compliance with the rental housing article and being prepared to present evidence or retain an attorney for any hearing before the town board are practices consistent with responsible license management.
