     5  renting of a property of a term of thirty days or less.
     6    2. A property owner who uses their property consisting of a one or two
     7  family dwelling for the purposes  of  a  short-term  rental  must  first

     9  erty  being  rented  that there are no pending violations of the housing
    10  and/or building codes existing on the property. Each such  certification
    11  shall  be  valid for ninety days. If the property owner does not certify
