Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I).
Any change in the occupancy of real estate rented or leased or in the identity of the lessee from that, shown in the report of the lessor as required in § 136-2 hereof shall be reported by lessor to the Township Secretary within 10 days after such change. It is intended hereby that lessors shall report a new lease or a lessee who rents or leases a different parcel or unit of lessor's real estate and when a parcel or unit of their real estate becomes vacant.
The Township Secretary may prepare a form report entitled "Status of Occupancy Report" which form report may require that information set forth above and such other pertinent information that the Board by resolution may direct the Township Secretary to incorporate into the said report form. The failure to have such report forms, however, shall not excuse the obligation of lessors to provide the information required herein. The report may be filed by presenting to the Township Secretary a copy of any lease agreement which may be in effect or a copy of any other form that the lessor may be required to submit to any other agency concerning tenants.
Any lessor violating any of the provisions of this chapter or who furnishes false information to the Township or who uses a false name or address in any report required by this chapter, shall be subject to civil enforcement procedures as set forth in Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article II.
