AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY -- ABANDONED PROPERTY

Summary

The bill requires every Rhode Island town and city to post a yearly inventory of properties that may be abandoned, and to notify the last known owners or lienholders. It defines what constitutes abandonment, outlines owners' rights to fix problems, and allows courts and nonprofits to seek relief when a building poses a health or safety danger. The goal is to give communities a clear tool to identify and remediate unsafe, neglected properties.
