- Store and dispose of all refuse and garbage in a clean, sanitary and safe manner. (Containers for storage of garbage shall be rodent-proof, insect-proof, and watertight. )

- Be responsible for the extermination of insects and rodents if your unit is the only one infested. (It is the owner’s responsibility if two or more units or a common area are infested.)

- Not install, operate or use an unvented space heater employing a flame.

- Not cause utilities to be turned off.

- Allow access to the rental property and structures for periodic* inspection by the Codes Enforcement Officer. ( *Once every four years as a minimum or in response to a complaint of a violation of Borough Ordinances.)

- Become familiar with other Borough rules. See the “Did You Know?” section of the website.
