Municipal authorities must follow city council resolutions when granting payment discounts for overdue rent debts, including formal agreements with tenants.
Discounts Must Follow Council Resolutions
The executive body of a local government unit must comply with city council resolutions regarding discounts on the payment of civil law liabilities. This includes respecting the principles, method, and procedure for granting such discounts.
Local authorities must enter into formal agreements (contracts) with debtors when granting these discounts, which is important from an evidentiary perspective as it signifies the debtor’s clear acceptance of terms.
Rent Determination Rules
The specific rules and procedures for determining rent amounts are established by municipal authorities and must be followed consistently.
