Edwardsville Ch. 22 Art. VIII § 22-265 establishes what information must be included when a residential rental property owner applies for registration with the city. The application, submitted to the city clerk along with the required fee, must cover identifying details for the owner, any management agent, tenants, and certain financial parties such as mortgage holders or contract-for-deed buyers. It also requires a signed acknowledgment that the owner and agent are aware of the city's building safety and zoning codes and understand the consequences of knowingly violating them.

Under Edwardsville § 22-265, compliant rental property operators file their registration application with the city clerk and include all required details: owner and agent contact information, a 24/7 emergency contact, the property's legal address, unit count, permitted occupancy, tenant names and phone numbers, and information about any mortgage holder or contract-for-deed buyer. Operators who hold their property through a corporate entity also provide the name and address of their registered agent. A signed statement confirming awareness of the city's building safety and zoning codes is a required component of every application.

Edwardsville § 22-265 requires that a tenant's name and telephone number be listed on the landlord's registration application filed with the city clerk, meaning tenants are part of the official record for a registered rental property. If a tenant has reason to believe their unit is not properly registered or that required information was omitted, they may contact the city clerk's office to inquire about the property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Edwardsville's rental registration program can help explain what options may be available when a landlord has not complied with Ch. 22 Art. VIII.
