§ 51-1. Legislative findings.

The Borough Council finds, determines and declares that:

A. 

Lavallette is a resort community and its citizens have experienced disturbances, damage and public expense resulting from carelessly granted and inadequately supervised seasonal rentals to irresponsible vacationers by inept or indifferent landlords.

B. 

This chapter is enacted to preserve the peace and tranquility of the community for its permanent residents, and to maintain the municipality as a viable vacation resort for all persons and families availing themselves of the facilities in the community.

C. 

The enactment of this chapter is necessary and desirable to provide a means to curb and discourage those occasional excesses arising from irresponsible seasonal rentals.

D. 

The Legislature of the State of New Jersey enacted N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.12n et seq. to enable certain communities to take effective action to assure that excesses, when they occur, shall not be repeated, and that landlords offering seasonal rentals be held to sufficient standards of responsibility.
