RENTAL HOUSING
(A) No owner shall allow another person to occupy, nor shall any person let to another for occupancy, any dwelling, or any apartment or rooming unit in any dwelling, without first obtaining a registration certificate as provided in this chapter, or at such time that the registration certificate, or the right to receive a registration certificate, is suspended or revoked. Any registration certificate obtained pursuant to this section shall be issued in the name of the owner.

Any suspension or revocation of the registration certificate or the right to receive a registration certificate may involve the entire dwelling or any individual unit or units within the dwelling.
(B) The occupancy or rental of any dwelling, or any apartment, or rooming unit in any dwelling for which a registration certificate is required, need not be interrupted or suspended for lack of a registration certificate if the same is due to the inability of the City Administrator to process the application in a timely manner.
(Prior Code, § 28-1) (Ord. 800, passed - -)
