Langhorne Borough Proposes Rental Registration & Inspection Ordinance | Landlord Update — The McKnight Team

If you own rental property in Langhorne Borough, you’ll want to stay informed on an important new development. During its Feb. 27, 2025, work session, the Langhorne Borough Council continued discussions on a proposed rental housing registration and inspection ordinance that could soon affect landlords and rental property owners.

What’s Being Proposed in Langhorne Borough?

The council reviewed several components of the draft ordinance, including:

  • A proposed fire inspection ordinance

  • Rental property registration requirements

  • A draft rental property registration form

  • The Residential Rental and Resale Pre-Inspection Checklist for Use & Occupancy Certificates

  • Updated FAQs related to use and occupancy as well as building inspections

According to Langhorne Borough Solicitor Barbara Kirk, the checklists will play a key role in registering rental properties for fire inspections, and there may be overlap between these requirements and the proposed ordinance.

Why Langhorne Rental Property Owners Should Pay Attention

If enacted, this ordinance could require landlords in Langhorne Borough to comply with new registration, inspection, and fire safety measures before leasing properties. Staying ahead of these changes will help avoid penalties and ensure that your property meets all updated borough regulations.

The council will continue these discussions during the next work session, scheduled for Thursday, March 27, 2025. Rental property owners and real estate professionals are encouraged to monitor meeting agendas for further updates.
