The City of Columbia has a Rental Unit Conservation Law aimed at ensuring rental properties are safe and well-maintained. This law requires all residential rental properties, including apartments, duplexes, single-family homes, and owner-occupied homes with tenants, to be licensed.
Currently, the program oversees more than 27,800 housing units and nearly 10,000 structures. The law also provides tenants the right to file complaints if landlords fail to address maintenance issues.
