Last night the Boulder City Council passed changes to the enforcement of rental ordinances. We have not seen the actual text of the changes but the Boulder County Apartment Association representative gave us the following summary.
The Council directed the enforcement groups to meet with the rental property owners and/or property managers when a there is a suspicion of a violation. We actually experienced this with one of our properties earlier this year. There was a complaint from a neighbor and we received notice that the property could be in violation of the occupancy ordinance. These violations can carry a $2,000/day fine. We met with the City inspector and were able to show them we were actively managing the property and there was no evidence of a violation. This example was a critical part in convincing the Council to make the changes.
As we get more detailed information we will pass this along to all of you.
