Town Of Hampton Certificate Of Rental Occupancy Reminder

Press release from the Town of Hampton :

As the tourist season winds down, our office would like to take the opportunity to reach out to property owners who rent their dwelling units for one day or year-round. Since 1996, the town of Hampton has required the Rental Inspector inspect all properties containing rental units. Upon completing the inspection, a Certificate of Rental Occupancy is issued, validating that the unit meets the minimum safety requirements identified in the Building Codes. The intent of this requirement is focused on the safety of the rental population staying in Hampton throughout the year. In addition, having a valid Certificate of Rental reduces the potential for injuries, which may result in unforeseen consequences for the owner. All property owners should review their current Certificate of Rental Occupancy needs to ensure compliance. If a Certificate has not previously been issued, or has expired, don't hesitate to get in touch with our office at 603-929-5817 or email Pking@Hamptonnh.gov. Thank you for keeping our residents and visitors safe.
