Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII. RENTAL HOUSING § 5-351
Rental housing registration required
Operative Text
The owner of any building used as residential rental housing shall file a rental registration license application with the building department for each residential rental property. Prior to engaging in the business of renting any dwelling unit to the public or operating a rental dwelling or dwelling unit, every owner of a rental residential property, whether occupied or vacant, shall file with the village a completed license application for the unit and owner's registration form including the appropriate fee for each residential rental property and rental unit. The rental registration license application shall be on a form provided by the building department. Only one registration statement is required for each rental residential property provided that the names of all owners are listed thereon. (Am. Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Under Evergreen Park § 5-351, every owner of residential rental property — whether the units are occupied or vacant — must register each property and unit with the village's building department before renting to the public or operating the rental. Registration is completed on a village-provided form and must include all owners' names along with the required fee. A single registration statement per property is sufficient as long as all owners are identified on that form.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Evergreen Park § 5-351 requires property owners to submit a completed rental registration license application and owner's registration form — along with the applicable fee — to the building department before any dwelling unit is offered for rent or operated as a rental, even if currently vacant. Compliant operators ensure every residential rental property is registered, that all co-owners are named on the registration, and that the form used is the official one supplied by the building department. Keeping registration current for each property and unit is a standard part of ongoing compliance under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Evergreen Park § 5-351 establishes that landlords are legally required to register their rental properties with the village before renting them out, meaning tenants can check whether their unit's owner has met this baseline licensing obligation. If a property appears to be unregistered, tenants may contact the Evergreen Park building department to inquire about compliance status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how an owner's failure to comply with § 5-351 might be relevant to their rental situation.
