A registration issued pursuant to this section may be revoked by the Building Inspector if he finds that the landlord's rental property is unfit for habitation or use for its intended purpose or for landlord's refusal to conform his property to the requirements of law, or breaches of such other duties placed on the landlord by the Building Code or general law. Any such revocation shall be preceded by written notice of the anticipated revocation sent by certified mail to the landlord's last known address at least fifteen days prior to revocation, but not before the Building Inspector has made every effort to serve the landlord's in person. Such notice shall inform the landlord of the grounds for revocation and his right to an appeal to the Code Appeals Board as provided by law. A revocation of a registration shall not entitle a landlord to a refund of any part of the registration fee.
If the Building Inspector refuses to register any landlord or if a landlord is notified by the Building Inspector that he was not in compliance with any provision of this article, such landlord shall have the same right of appeal as under a revocation of a registration. If any decision of the Code Appeals Board is adverse to any landlord, the landlord may apply to the Circuit Court of Harrison County for review of such decision in the appropriate manner within thirty days of such decision.
The Building Inspector shall advise the landlord of his/her/its rights under this section on any notice given to such landlord relating to the review of the Building Inspector's decision.
