Rental Inspections

The City of Saline adopted the Rental Housing Certification Ordinance to establish certain responsibilities and duties to landlords and tenants to make dwellings safe, sanitary and fit for human habitation. The Community Development Department will provide biennial property maintenance inspections which will provide a certificate of compliance. This certificate is required in order to occupy residential rental structures and residential rental units.

You can view the ordinance in its entirety by visiting the link below.
