§ 215.02 License Required; Term and Transfer

   No transient residential building shall be occupied or permitted to be occupied unless the owner, lessee or person in charge has first applied for and obtained the required license. A license issued for a transient residential building shall expire not later than the calendar year for which issued, irrespective of the date of its issuance, and shall not be transferable.

   Whenever the interest of a licensee in a transient residential building ceases, the license shall immediately become void. However, upon the death of a licensee, the license shall be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of death in favor of the legal representatives of the licensee, or of the person to whom such transient residential building passed by law, but in no case shall such days extend beyond the end of the calendar year for which the license was issued.
