Aroma Park — Ch. 7 Art. III Rental Dwelling Licenses § 7-74
Transferability of license
Operative Text
No operating license shall be transferable to another person or unit. Each person holding an unrevoked operating license shall give notice, in writing, to the village within ten working days after having transferred or otherwise disposing of the legal control of any licensed dwelling unit. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person or persons succeeding to the ownership or control of such dwelling unit.
Under Aroma Park Ch. 7 Art. III § 7-74, an operating license for a rental dwelling unit is tied to the individual who holds it and cannot be passed along to another person or transferred to a different unit. When a licensed owner sells, transfers, or otherwise gives up legal control of a dwelling unit, the village must be notified in writing within ten working days. That written notice must identify the new owner or person taking control, including their name and address.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to § 7-74 should be aware that a rental dwelling license does not carry over when a property changes hands — the incoming owner will need to obtain their own license. A compliant property owner or manager generally submits written notice to the village within ten working days of any transfer or disposition of legal control, making sure that notice includes the full name and address of whoever is taking over. Keeping documentation of when and how that notice was sent helps demonstrate timely compliance with this section.

Section § 7-74 establishes that each licensed rental dwelling unit must have a current, valid license held by the person actually in control — a license cannot simply be inherited by a new owner after a sale or transfer. If a tenant notices that ownership of their unit has changed hands without any apparent update to the village's licensing records, that may be relevant to whether the unit is being operated in compliance with Ch. 7 Art. III. Tenants who have questions about the licensing status of their unit can contact the village directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
