Edwardsville — Ch. 22 Art. VIII Residential Rental Properties Registration § 22-262
Scope
Operative Text
This article applies to any dwelling unit and its accessory units that are leased as rental units located within the City of Edwardsville, with the following exceptions: (1) Nursing homes, as defined in the Edwardsville Zoning Ordinance; (2) Hotels and motels, as defined in the Edwardsville Zoning Ordinance; (3) Public housing, owned by a governmental agency; and (4) Housing owned and operated by a state university.
Section 22-262 of Edwardsville's Code establishes which properties fall under the city's residential rental registration requirements. The article covers virtually all leased dwelling units and their accessory units within Edwardsville's city limits, but carves out four categories: nursing homes, hotels and motels (each as defined by the Edwardsville Zoning Ordinance), government-owned public housing, and housing owned and operated by a state university. Any rental property that does not fit one of those four exceptions is subject to the full registration framework in Article VIII.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 22-262, operators of standard residential rental properties in Edwardsville — including single-family rentals, multi-unit buildings, and their accessory units — are generally subject to the registration requirements of Article VIII. Compliant operators typically confirm early on whether their property falls within one of the four enumerated exceptions before assuming they are exempt. Because the exceptions reference definitions in the Edwardsville Zoning Ordinance, operators of properties that might qualify as nursing homes or hotels/motels often verify those definitions to determine their obligations.

Section 22-262 defines the reach of Edwardsville's residential rental registration program, which means most tenants renting within city limits live in a unit that should be registered under Article VIII. Tenants who believe their landlord may not be complying with the registration requirements can contact the City of Edwardsville directly to inquire about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Edwardsville ordinances can also help renters understand how the scope provision of § 22-262 applies to their housing situation.
