Operative Text

Antioch CHAPTER 8 RENTAL HOUSE REGULATIONS § 5-8-2 establishes that renting out, occupying, or allowing occupancy of a residential rental property is prohibited unless the property holds a current, valid certificate of compliance issued by the Village. The rule applies to all parties involved — landlords, tenants, and any other person who might permit occupancy. No residential rental transaction is lawful without this certificate in place.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 5-8-2, compliant rental property operators ensure that a current, valid Village-issued certificate of compliance is obtained and maintained before any tenant moves in or continues to occupy the property. Allowing a unit to be occupied without this certificate exposes the operator to a violation of Antioch's rental house regulations. Property managers generally track certificate renewal deadlines and confirm compliance status before executing or renewing any lease agreement.

Section § 5-8-2 makes it unlawful for a tenant to occupy a residential rental property that lacks a valid Village-issued certificate of compliance, meaning tenants have an interest in confirming that their unit is properly certified. If a property is found to be operating without a valid certificate, this provision may be relevant to any code-enforcement complaint filed with the Village of Antioch. Tenants who have questions about their unit's compliance status may contact the Village directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
