This week Gwinnett County commissioners finalized efforts to take a harder stance on landlords who do not properly maintain their rental properties.
On Tuesday, the commissioners approved an amendment to the Property Maintenance Ordinance to establish minimum standards for interior conditions in rental properties, and give Gwinnett code enforcement officers more enforcement power, including the authority to directly work with tenants to tackle violations. The ordinance revision is a follow up to efforts that began in February when the commissioners authorized staff to look into making the change.
