Local Representative/Contact

A local representative is a person who is to be contracted by local residents and/or city staff to promptly address and resolve potential complaints and violations that arise from the renting of the house that you have agreed to be the local representative for.

The following is a list of what is expected of a local representative:

A local representative must provide the City with a daytime phone number, after-hours/weekend phone number, and email address where he or she can be reached. The phone numbers will be distributed to the VRD’s neighboring residents so that they may contact the local representative when issues or violations arise.

Local representatives are expected to do the following when needed:

Pick-up trash or recycling that has spilled
Promptly resolve parking violations by contacting the renters directly by phone or in person if needed
Promptly resolve noise violations ( such as late night disturbances ) by contacting renters directly by phone, or in person if needed
Promptly resolve any other issues that are time sensitive

A local representative must be willing to resolve the above issues regardless of the time of day.

( Local representatives are not expected to directly intervene in matters where police invovlement is most appropriate, such as situations involving physical violence ).
