This section shall apply to any and all persons operating residential rental property.


(A) Applications.


(1) New and renewals. All applications shall be made at the office of the City Clerk, upon forms which have been approved by motion of the City Council. Applications for renewal licenses may be made on abbreviated forms.


(2) Forms. All such applications must be subscribed, sworn to, and include, but not limited to, the following:


(a) Applicant(s) full name and date of birth. In those cases where the owner is a corporation or partnership, the application must include the full names and dates of births of the principals;


(b) Applicant(s) present address and phone number;


(c) Applicant(s) address for 3 years prior to the date of the application;


(d) Address of property to be rented;


(e) Number of off-street parking spaces on the property;


(f) Number of rental units;


(g) Number of bedrooms per rental unit;


(h) Name of on-site/local person (if other than applicant(s)) responsible for the rental unit;


(i) Whether or not the rental unit is owner-occupied;


(j) Whether or not the applicant(s) has ever been convicted of a felony, or a misdemeanor, including violation of a City of Madison Lake ordinance, excluding traffic violations except alcohol-related violations, and, if so, the nature of the offense and date and place of conviction; and


(k) Such other information as the Council may deem necessary considering the nature of the use for which the license application is made.


(B) False application. It is unlawful for any applicant to intentionally make false statements or omissions upon any application form. Any false statements in such application, or any willful omission to state any information called for on such application form, shall, upon discovery of such falsehood work an automatic refusal of license or, if already issued, shall render void any license or permit issued pursuant thereto.


(C) Approval. Upon receipt of a completed application and payment of all license fees, the application will be forwarded to the Rental Inspector, who shall review the application for conflicts with zoning ordinances, parking requirements, and any other applicable statute, ordinance, code or regulation. All properties must meet and fully comply with the requirements set forth in the International Property Maintenance Code. A rental license will be issued after the property is in full compliance with all requirements. The property may not be rented until final approval as evidenced by the issuance of the license.


(D) Reissuance of a rental license. Any property with a cancelled rental license shall be handled as if the property were a new license. Such issuance will require the property to comply with all codes in effect at the time of the new license application.
