Rental Housing Program

Program Overview

Beginning in 2022, Manheim Township will begin to license rental properties.  The program will include periodic, proactive inspections performed on a 5-year cycle. For multi-unit buildings a portion of units will be inspected based on total number of units per building. For complexes and properties that contain multiple buildings, inspections of individual buildings will also be staggered within that 5-year cycle. We will provide a matrix for inspections to property owners as the program is launched.
