The Township of Lehigh recognizes a need for registration of residential
units within the Township in order to ensure appropriate identity of various
residents of the Township for registration and taxation purposes. The Township
recognizes that the most efficient system to provide for these rental occupants'
registration is to require the landlord to file periodic notices with the
Township identifying its residential lessees.
No person shall hereafter occupy, allow to be occupied or let to another
person for occupancy any residential rental unit within the Township of Lehigh
unless said landlord/lessor notifies the Township within 30 days after said
occupancy of the name, address and number of a person(s) occupying each specific
unit. The registration shall contain the following minimum information:
A. Name, address and telephone number of the property owner;
B. Name, address and telephone number of the designated
local property manager, if the property owner lives outside the Township and
has a property manager;
C. The street address of the rental property; and
D. The name, address and place of employment of the tenant(s)
and all other occupants of the unit who are over the age of 18 or employed.
A registration for each residential unit shall be filed by January 30
of each calendar year and then throughout the year whenever there is a change
of occupants as set forth above. The property owner shall notify the Township
within 30 days of lease-letting or renting or any other change in occupancy
of the property.
No fees shall be charged for this registration.
Penalties for violation of this chapter shall be as provided in Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
II.
