Registration and Inspection Program
Delhi
Charter Township
Ordinance No. 102.6,
requires all residential
dwelling units that are rented or leased be
registered
with the township. The purpose of the registration is to
ensure adequate maintenance of rental dwellings by setting
up a schedule to conduct bi-annual health and safety
inspections of rental dwellings.
A rental unit is defined as
"living quarters within a dwelling intended for occupancy
by a person other than the owner and the family of the
owner… and for which a remuneration of any kind is paid."
|
A registration fee of $100.00
per parcel plus $30.00 per unit
is required (example, a single family rental unit is
$130.00, a duplex rental unit is $160.00).
The Registration is good for a period of two years, during
which time the Township will conduct
inspections. Failure to register
is a municipal civil infraction
punishable by a fine, costs and additional civil
penalties.
