[Ord. 434, 8/6/2008]
Saxonburg Borough recognizes a need for registration of residential units within the Borough in order to ensure appropriate identity of various residents of the Borough for registration and taxation purposes. The Borough recognizes that the most efficient system to provide for these rental occupants' registration is to require the landlord to file periodic notices with the Borough identifying its residential lessees.
[Ord. 434, 8/6/2008]
As used in this Part 1, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
RESIDENTIAL UNIT
A building used or designed as a residence for one or more families living independently of each other, including but not limited to a house, duplex, apartment, condominium and/or mobile home.
[Ord. 434, 8/6/2008]
No person shall hereafter occupy, allow to be occupied or let to another person for occupancy any residential rental unit within Saxonburg Borough unless the landlord/lessor provides the Borough, on or before the 15th day of each month, with the name, address and number of persons occupying each specific unit. The registration, which shall be set forth on a form supplied by the Borough, shall contain the following minimum information:
A.
