In order to encourage prompt payment, if the owner of any premises fails to pay recoverable resources and refuse collection charges by the date they are due, the tenant of those premises may withhold from rent due to the owner an amount equal to the refuse collection charges due to the Town, if the tenant pays the amount to the Town. The owner shall not take any action to collect from a tenant any such amount withheld from rent and paid to the Town to satisfy the owner’s recoverable resources and refuse collection charges bill. (Prior code 7.16.080; Ord. 1351, 2011)
