Inspection of Rental Properties
Rental properties are systematically inspected if:
- They are residential
- They are six years old or older
- They contain four or more units (multi-family rental properties)
- Four or more rental dwellings within any townhome or condominium community owned by a single owner (they are then considered rental property)
Individual townhomes and condominiums (up to three units under a single ownership within any townhome or condominium community), duplexes, and single-family units are inspected on a complaint-only basis, or can be inspected on a proactive basis.
The Rental Code requires Rental Property License and Registration of all residential rental properties or rental dwelling units within the City of Westminster.
