Elk Grove Village CHAPTER 15: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL UNITS/CRIME FREE HOUSING § 3-15-9
SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL RENTALS PROHIBITED
Operative Text
A. It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to operate, use, offer for rent or use, or advertise for rent or use, any property, or portion thereof, within the Village as a Short-Term Residential Rental, except as set forth in Subsection B of this Section. B. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Subsection A of this Section, it shall not be considered a Short-Term Residential Rental when the preceding owner of a property maintains possession of a Residential Structure after closing for the sale thereof, but leases the property back from the successor owner for a period of time pursuant to a written agreement.
Elk Grove Village § 3-15-9 makes it unlawful for any person or entity to operate, offer, or advertise a property—or any part of it—as a short-term residential rental. The prohibition covers the full range of activity, from listing a unit online to actually renting it out on a short-term basis. A narrow exception exists for post-closing leaseback arrangements, where a home's former owner temporarily leases the property back from the new owner under a written agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Elk Grove Village § 3-15-9, compliant property owners and managers refrain from listing, advertising, or renting any residential property—or portion of it—on a short-term basis within the Village. Operators who are aware of the leaseback exception should ensure that any such arrangement is documented in a written agreement and genuinely reflects a post-sale transition rather than an attempt to circumvent the general prohibition. Keeping records of all rental arrangements and their durations is a practice generally associated with demonstrating compliance with this provision.

Elk Grove Village § 3-15-9 establishes that short-term residential rentals are broadly prohibited in the Village, which means tenants who discover their unit is being operated as one may have grounds to raise that violation in relevant proceedings. Tenants who believe a landlord is operating in violation of this provision can report the situation to Elk Grove Village's municipal code enforcement or housing authorities. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify what options may be available under this provision.
