For properties having to correct violations, twelve (12) months after the date of the certificate of compliance's issuance; for properties having received a certificate of compliance from the village without having to correct any violations, twenty four (24) months after the date of certificate of compliance's issuance. 3. The residential rental property is damaged or destroyed to the extent that it is no longer habitable. B. A certificate of compliance may not be transferred between owners. C. A certificate of compliance may not be transferred from one residential rental property to another. (Ord. 22-01-06, 1-26-2022)
Under Antioch CHAPTER 8 RENTAL HOUSE REGULATIONS § 5-8-3, a certificate of compliance issued to a residential rental property has a defined lifespan that depends on the property's inspection outcome. Properties that required corrections to pass inspection hold a valid certificate for 12 months, while those that passed without any required corrections receive a 24-month validity period. The certificate becomes void earlier if the Village revokes or suspends it, or if the property is damaged or destroyed to the point of being uninhabitable. Certificates are tied to both the specific owner and the specific property, meaning they cannot be transferred to a new owner or applied to a different rental unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of residential rental properties in Antioch should be aware that under § 5-8-3, the certificate of compliance they receive is time-limited and non-transferable. Compliant operators typically track their certificate's expiration date — either 12 months if corrections were required or 24 months if none were needed — and initiate the renewal process well before that date arrives. Because the certificate cannot be transferred to a new owner or a different property, operators who sell a property or acquire a new rental unit generally account for the need to obtain a fresh certificate for each transaction.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Antioch § 5-8-3, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their landlord holds a current, valid certificate of compliance for the specific rental property they occupy. If a certificate has expired, been revoked or suspended, or was improperly transferred from another owner or property, that may constitute a violation of Chapter 8 Rental House Regulations. Tenants who have questions about the status of a certificate or believe a violation exists may consider contacting the Village of Antioch directly, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the absence of a valid certificate is relevant to any housing complaint or legal proceeding.
