APPLICATION
Operative Text
(A) The owner of each rental housing unit shall make written application to the City Clerk-Treasurer for a license on a form to be supplied by the city and containing such information as necessary to administer and enforce the provisions of this subchapter and the minimum standards of the Uniform Housing Code. (B) The legal owner of record of the rental housing unit, including any contract purchaser thereof shall make written application to the City Clerk-Treasurer for a license as provided in this subchapter prior to any initial occupancy, and prior to license renewal.

(Prior Code, § 350.04)
New Richland Rental Housing Regulations § 113.04 requires that every rental housing unit owner—including contract purchasers—submit a written license application to the City Clerk-Treasurer before a unit is first occupied and again before each license renewal. The application must be completed on a city-supplied form and include information needed to administer and enforce local housing standards under the Uniform Housing Code. Applicants are also required to facilitate city inspections, which includes notifying current occupants of the scheduled inspection time and asking for their cooperation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.04, compliant rental property operators obtain the required license application form from the City Clerk-Treasurer and submit it before any new tenant moves in and again at each renewal cycle. Operators also coordinate with the city during inspections by informing building occupants of the inspection schedule and encouraging their participation. Contract purchasers of rental properties share this same obligation, so ownership transitions should account for the need to file a fresh application.

Section § 113.04 establishes that your landlord or the property's legal owner is required to hold a valid city license, obtained through the City Clerk-Treasurer, before a unit is occupied. The provision also entitles occupants to advance notice of any city inspection of the building, as landlords are obligated to notify tenants of the scheduled time. Tenants who believe a landlord has not complied with licensing requirements may consider contacting the New Richland City Clerk-Treasurer's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
