(A) The purpose of this article is to establish a method to hold owners of residential rental property accountable for failing to use effective methods to reduce disorder activity on their property. Owners of residential rental property whose property meets or exceeds the disorder threshold as established by this article may be expeditiously identified and contacted when excessive levels of disorder activity have occurred on or in the property.
(B) It is not the intent of this subchapter to determine the rights and liabilities of persons under agreements to which the town is not a party. This article shall not be construed to alter the terms of any lease or other agreement between a landlord and a tenant or others relating to property that is the subject of this article; provided that no provision of any lease or other agreement shall be construed to excuse compliance with this article. Additionally, a violation of this article shall not in and of itself create negligence per se standard or otherwise expand existing liability in tort for either a landlord or a tenant.
