of the leased property.

within the Borough, indicating both the name and address of the owner
of the property and the name and address of the tenant.

individual to provide a registration form to accomplish the purposes
of this chapter. It shall be the further responsibility of this designated
individual to mail or otherwise deliver the registration form to all

initial registration required under this chapter as soon as practical.
Thereafter, annual registration forms may be forwarded to all owners
of leased properties on an annual basis, on or before November 15
of each calendar year, with directions that completed forms be delivered
