(A) The City of Springdale recognizes the need to preserve and promote the quality of existing housing and to provide for safe and sanitary housing conditions for residential tenants. In furtherance of this objective, this chapter requires all owners of single-family rental dwellings in the city to obtain a permit annually for each rental dwelling unit. Rental dwelling units must be inspected by the Springdale Building Department, or certified by the owner or a Licensed Home Inspector, to ensure compliance with any applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations at the time of application, at each change of occupancy, and at a minimum every three years thereafter.
(B) No owner of single household residential property located within the city shall rent, or seek to rent, any dwelling unit in such real property for any form of consideration unless he or she holds a valid rental permit issued by the Building Official, or a duly appointed assistant, in the name of the owner and the tenant for the specific dwelling unit to be rented. The term "owner" shall have the same meaning as defined in § 155.011.
