Englewood requires landlords to register rental properties and obtain a new certificate of occupancy each time a tenant changes. Chapter 319 also mandates registration for vacant and foreclosure properties, with annual fees and inspection requirements.
Chapter 325, Article V of the Englewood code requires landlords to obtain a new certificate of occupancy every time a rental dwelling unit changes tenants. Inspectors verify smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, electrical safety, and basic habitability before the CO is issued. Separately, Chapter 319 (Property Registration) requires owners of vacant and foreclosing properties to register with the city annually, designate a local property manager, and pay an annual registration fee. Failure to register or to obtain a tenant-change CO blocks lawful occupancy and may delay closings or lease starts.
Renting without a current certificate of occupancy or failing to register a vacant property exposes owners to municipal court fines and orders barring occupancy until inspections are passed.
