Public forum on rental enforcement in Lawrence
Adrian Melott of Lawrence criticizes city rental code enforcement as lax and biased. He argues the ordinance allows three unrelated residents in single family homes, with a fourth allowed if a partition creates separate living space, creating revenue via higher rents. He blames City Commission lax rules and legal opinions for weak enforcement, noting parking, maintenance, noise, and trash as ongoing issues.
