A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF SALISBURY AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF SALISBURY TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING RENTAL PERMITS FOR ALL RENTAL DWELLING UNITS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF SALISBURY.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The Charter of the City of Salisbury, being Chapter 205 of the 1987 Session Laws, is amended by adding a new section to read:
"Sec. 7.1A.  The City Council shall have the authority to adopt an ordinance that provides for standards and requirements for landlords to obtain permits for rental dwellings, including single family rental dwellings and rental units and owner-occupied duplexes, rooming and shared-bath units, unless they are licensed lodging houses.  The permit must be obtained from the City of Salisbury for each unit before the unit may be rented.  Said ordinance may further require that if the permit is revoked by the City, the City may evict the tenants pursuant to the Summary Ejectment procedure in the General Statutes.  The ordinance may also provide that all leases, oral or written, entered into regarding property to be rented as a dwelling shall be subject to the City ordinance and that the lease shall be automatically terminated if the landlord's permit is revoked."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
