AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- HOUSING MAINTENANCE AND OCCUPANCY CODE -- NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS

Summary

The bill amends Rhode Island’s housing code so that officials must issue a written notice of any violation, give owners ten days to dispute it, and then send the same notice to every tenant. It also obligates owners who live outside the state to maintain a registered agent in Rhode Island and imposes a $100 fine for non‑compliance. The changes are intended to increase transparency and enforcement of housing standards.
