I, _____________________________________, am a
tenant of the identified rental dwelling unit. I have been informed by my
landlord and/or the City Code Enforcement Officer of the City’s Residential
Rental Property Ordinance, codified as amended at Chapter 6, Article 13 of the

hereby knowingly and voluntarily give my consent to the City Code Enforcement
Officer(s) to conduct an inspection of my dwelling unit.

understand that the purpose of the inspection is narrowly focused to ensure
that the dwelling unit is in compliance with the minimum property maintenance
standards established by the City’s Property Maintenance Code and in compliance
with the City's Land Development Code.
(3) I
understand that, if violations of the City Code are discovered, the City Code
Enforcement Officer(s) may take photographs to document those violations and I
hereby consent to the taking of those photographs for that limited purpose.

also understand that, if violations of the City Code are discovered, the City Code
Enforcement Officer may be required to re-inspect the dwelling unit at a later
date to ensure compliance with the City Code.
(5) I
understand that my landlord or my landlord's property agent may accompany the City
Code Enforcement Officer during any inspection or re-inspection.
(6) I
understand that I have the right to refuse consent to inspection, but that if I
do refuse consent, the City may seek an administrative warrant or other lawful
means by which to complete the inspection.
