2 t On The Move t City Newsletter The Good Landlord: Crime Free Multi-Housing Program Overview To address the crime problems in rental properties requires a unique coalition of landlords, their employees, residents, and the police, says Police Chief Chris Snyder. The most effective way to deal with any illegal activity in rental property is through a coordinated effort. In early 2007, the Police Department recognized problem apartments/complexes are causing a continual drain on city resources due to repetitive calls for service. Later that year the city s Good Landlord Ordinance was adopted. COLT S CORNER News and Announcements from Cottonwood High School East Murray, UT The police department partners with the city s business licensing department (Community Development) and the Utah Apartment Association, to train and educate multi-housing property owners on crime prevention techniques, liability concerns, the eviction process, DQG RWKHU XVHIXO WRSLFV 3URSHUW\ RZQHUV DQG RU PDQDJHUV DUH UHTXLUHG WR DWWHQG WKLV FHUWL FDWLRQ WUDLQLQJ LQ RUGHU WR REWDLQ D UHGXFHG licensing fee. The property owners use a series of good practices such as requiring a written lease, performing background checks on prospective tenants, and having an eviction process for repetitive nuisance type behavior or for criminal activity. When residents are also educated and encouraged to participate in the safety of the property, understanding that management needs their cooperation, safe apartment communities can exist, says Snyder.
