Laws Protecting Tenants

Starkville City Building and Housing Code

Article 17.6.8 outlines rental housing standards. Click here to view the article on this site. If you find that your unit is in violation fill out the complaint form and give it to the Community Development department on the top floor of City Hall. It can also be mailed or emailed (presumably, though this has not been tested yet). If you have questions feel free to contact us. 

Here is the relevant page on the City website so you don't have to search through the mess.
