[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. The name, address and telephone number of the property owner;
B. The name, address and telephone number of the designated local property
manager, if the property owner lives outside the Borough 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 17 or employed.
(This Subsection D need only be completed one time within 30 days
of the tenant's occupying a residential unit.)
[Ord. 434, 8/6/2008]
No fee shall be charged for this registration.
[Ord. 434, 8/6/2008]
Any person, firm or corporation violating any provision of this
Part 1 shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $300, plus
attorneys' fees and costs, for each offense. A separate offense
shall be committed for each day during or on which a violation occurs
or continues to exist. In addition, the landlord/lessor shall be liable
for any taxes not received by the Borough when they are due as a result
of such violation.
