Bolingbrook — Ch. 26 Housing Standards and Property Maintenance § 26-51
The rental occupancy permit must be completed and signed by the tenant before the date of occupancy. The rental occupancy permit will remain confidential. The rental occupancy permit may be completed at the code enforcement department or completed in the presence of the landlord or the landlord's agent before the time of occupancy. A rental occupancy permit completed in the presence of the landlord or the landlord's agent must contain the signature of the landlord or agent following a certification that the application form was completed in his presence and contains true and accurate information regarding the tenants who will be occupying the residential rental unit. All rental occupancy permits must be submitted to the code enforcement department no later than seven days after completion. The rental occupancy permit shall state the names, birth dates, relationships and the number of people who will occupy the residential rental unit. It is unlawful for any person to knowingly make any false statement in his application for a rental occupancy permit as to the names, birth dates, relationships, or number of occupants of the dwelling unit. No more than one family, as defined in the village zoning ordinance, shall occupy each individual unit. All persons who occupy the premises of a residential rental unit, including persons who are added to the household following the initial occupancy of the dwelling unit, with the exception of minor children born to the family, must be listed on the rental occupancy permit.

Plain English

Under Bolingbrook Ch. 26 § 26-51, every residential rental unit requires a rental occupancy permit that must be signed by the tenant before move-in and submitted to the code enforcement department within seven days of completion. The permit must list the names, birth dates, relationships, and total number of all occupants, and it remains confidential once filed. Knowingly providing false information on the permit is unlawful, and occupancy is limited to one family as defined by the village zoning ordinance. Any person added to the household after initial occupancy—except minor children born to the family—must also be added to the permit.

For Property Managers

Under Bolingbrook Ch. 26 § 26-51, compliant operators ensure that a rental occupancy permit is fully completed and signed by the tenant prior to the date of occupancy. When the permit is completed in the landlord's or agent's presence, the landlord or agent must sign a certification confirming the form was completed in their presence and contains accurate information. The completed permit must be submitted to the code enforcement department within seven days, and any new household members added after initial occupancy—other than minor children born to the family—must be reflected on an updated permit.

For Tenants

Bolingbrook Ch. 26 § 26-51 gives tenants the right to have their rental occupancy permit kept confidential by the code enforcement department. Tenants should be aware that all occupants, including those who join the household after move-in (with the exception of minor children born to the family), must be listed on the permit, and that knowingly providing false information is unlawful. If questions arise about permit requirements or compliance, tenants can contact the Bolingbrook code enforcement department directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
