AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY -- ABANDONED PROPERTY

Summary

The law obligates every Rhode Island city and town to create and update a public list of properties that appear abandoned, and to mail notice to the last known owners or lienholders. Property owners have a reasonable period to fix the problems before the property can be treated as abandoned in court. Neighboring landowners and qualified nonprofits may also petition the court for relief to correct dangerous conditions.
