Butler City Council has approved the Property Condition Checklist of the Landlord-Tenant Relations Ordinance.
The checklist to be filled out by landlords when entering into a lease with a new tenant includes potential fire code violation and safety items such as property identification numbers, working smoke alarms, and no electrical hazards.
Photos to prove these items are in place will be emailed to an address yet to be determined. Tenants would be asked to sign off on the accuracy of the checklist and photos.
This ordinance will go into effect January 1, 2025.
