Long Beach Township has seen a proliferation of “for rent” signs on properties throughout the municipality, and is taking steps to address what officials feel is an issue of unsightliness. At its March 1 meeting, the board of commissioners passed, on second reading, an ordinance amending an ordinance to prohibit all “for rent” signs in yards within the township.

“It’ll clean up this township,” remarked Mayor Joseph Mancini, who said there is a 30-day cushion to comply.
