(A) General.
(1) The occupant shall comply with all obligations imposed upon occupants by this subchapter, all applicable codes and ordinances of the borough and all applicable provisions of state law.
(2) A regulated rental unit shall also comply with the occupancy limits of other borough codes.
(B) Health regulations. Occupants shall collect and dispose of all rubbish, garbage and other waste in a clean and sanitary manner, and comply with borough solid waste and recycling regulations.
(C) Illegal activities. Occupants shall not engage in, nor tolerate nor permit guests on the premises to engage in, any conduct declared illegal under any federal criminal statute, and/or under the Pennsylvania Crimes Code (18 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 101 et seq.), Liquor Code (47 P.S. §§ 1-101 et seq.) or the illegal sale or distribution of controlled substances under the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act (35 P.S. §§ 780-101 et seq.), or their successor laws.
(D) Disruptive conduct. (See definition in § 150.61.)
(1) Occupants shall not engage in, nor tolerate nor permit guests on the premises to engage in, disruptive conduct, or other violations of the subchapter.
(2) When police investigate an alleged incident of disruptive conduct, the police officer shall complete a disruptive conduct report upon a finding that the reported incident did, in his or her judgment, constitute disruptive conduct, as defined in § 150.61. The information provided in this report shall include, if possible, the identity or identities of the alleged perpetrator(s) of the disruptive conduct and the factual basis for the disruptive conduct.
(3) When a police officer issues a disruptive conduct report concerning a regulated rental unit, a copy shall be provided by the police to the Code Enforcement Officer, who shall maintain records of such reports. The Code Enforcement Officer shall mail a copy of the disruptive conduct report to an occupant and the owner or manager after his or her receipt of the report.
(4) A criminal or civil citation is not required in order for a disruptive conduct report to be issued.
(5) If a citation is issued and successfully prosecuted or a guilty plea entered before a district justice, such citation may automatically be considered a disruptive conduct report. However, if an appeal of a citation is filed from a decision of a district justice, the matter shall not be deemed to constitute disruptive conduct unless a finding of guilty is affirmed by a final decision on appeal.
(E) Damage to premises. The occupant shall not intentionally cause, nor permit nor tolerate others to cause, damage to the premises. Conduct which results in damages in excess of $500 shall be considered disruptive conduct under this subchapter.
