Carpentersville — Ch. 5.36 Residential Rental Licensing Program § 5.36.130
Compliance with regulations
Operative Text
It is unlawful for any person or legal entity to operate a residential rental property in violation of any provision of this chapter or any applicable rules and regulations of or adopted by the village pursuant to this chapter, or to change occupancy of any residential rental unit unless in full compliance with the provisions of this Code.
Carpentersville Ch. 5.36 § 5.36.130 establishes that operating a residential rental property in a manner that conflicts with the chapter's requirements, or with village rules adopted under it, is unlawful. The provision also prohibits changing the occupancy of a rental unit unless the property is in full compliance with the village code. In effect, both ongoing operation and occupancy transitions are subject to the full scope of the local rental licensing framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 5.36.130, property owners and managers operating residential rentals in Carpentersville are generally expected to maintain continuous compliance with all requirements of Ch. 5.36 and any related village rules, not just at the time of licensing but throughout the rental period. Compliant operators typically ensure that all code requirements are satisfied before allowing a new tenant to take occupancy of a unit, since a change in occupancy while out of compliance is expressly prohibited. Keeping inspection records, license renewals, and code-compliance documentation current are practices associated with meeting this standard.

Section 5.36.130 of Carpentersville's Residential Rental Licensing Program gives tenants a basis to understand that a landlord's failure to comply with Ch. 5.36 or applicable village rules is a violation of local law, including when occupancy changes occur without full code compliance. Tenants who believe a rental unit or a change in their occupancy was handled in violation of this provision may consider contacting the Village of Carpentersville directly to inquire about the status of a property's compliance or to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois municipal housing codes can also help explain what remedies or defenses may be available under this provision.
