Discussion on Residential Rental Property Regulations

 

Body

Issue/Request:

Discussion over progress developing Residential Rental Property Regulations.

 

Key Issues:

To preserve the integrity and safety of housing options within the City, protect the rights of landlords and tenants, and preserve the standards of the surrounding neighborhoods, it is desired to have a discussion on potential rental inspection and proactive code enforcement measures within the City. 

 

This discussion will be an update on the progress made since the October 2017 CEDC meeting.  A discussion over the frequency of inspection and inspection item checklist will occur. 

 

Proposed Committee Motion:

N/A

 

Background:

In December of 2011, Mr. Mark Dunning presented information to the CEDC regarding potential Rental Inspection programs for discussion. 

 

In August of 2017, a discussion with CEDC occurred, and staff was directed to prepare an ordinance for review and discussion within 6 months.  As part of the program development process, we are updating CEDC on the progress made each month and having a public discussion. 

 

In September of 2017, a review of existing programs located throughout the metro was presented along with a proposed framework for a Lee's Summit program.  The discussion also included the proposed next steps in the program development process.

 

In October of 2017, an estimate of program staffing requirements and associated costs were discussed.
