No license shall be issued or renewed under this subchapter for a non-resident applicant unless such applicant formally designates in writing with a power of attorney in the name of his or her resident agent for receipt of service for notice of violation of the provisions of this subchapter or any other applicable ordinances, and for service of process pursuant to this subchapter acknowledged by said agent. No license shall be issued or renewed under this subchapter unless the applicant, owner and operator agree as a condition precedent by signing the license application, to such inspections as may be required pursuant to § 114.006 of this chapter to determine whether the apartment house, rental dwelling unit or mobile home park is in compliance with applicable requirements. The failure of the applicant and/or operator to consent to such inspection shall be grounds for the denial and/or revocation of a business license.
