DNS Has Started To Implement The New Residential Rental Certificate Program

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in Legislation, DNS, Residential Rental Inspection (RRI) Program / Mandatory Rental I / Comments

As many of you know the City of Milwaukee's new Residential Rental Certificate Program ordinance went into effect January 1, 2010. 

It is my understanding that the letter notices, along with a date for the inspection of your rental unit/s, the application, were all mailed out to affected landlords during the week of Dec. 28th -- so those of you in the two designated areas should have received your mailing by now - Merry Christmas.

In anticipation of the many questions about the Residential Rental Inspection (RRI) Program the Department of Neighborhood Services (DNS) has added a new FAQ page to its website regarding the program.  The web page also contains a link to a map of the two affected areas, a link to the RRI Application form and a link to the Pre-Inspection Checklist.

Tristan is the Executive Vice President and shareholder with the law firm of Petrie+Pettit and focuses his practice in the area of landlord-tenant law representing landlords and property management companies throughout Wisconsin.
