Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII. RENTAL HOUSING § 5-375
Maintenance of Written Rental Agreements or Leases
Operative Text
The landlord shall maintain a copy of all written leases, and shall provide a copy of such written leases to the Village along with the rental registration license application or at any time required by the Village. Electronic copies of written leases may be submitted. (Am. Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Under Evergreen Park § 5-375, landlords are required to keep copies of all written lease agreements for their rental units. Those copies must be submitted to the Village either as part of the rental registration license application process or whenever the Village requests them. The provision also allows electronic copies to be used for this purpose.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliant operators under Evergreen Park § 5-375 generally retain copies of every written lease agreement for each rental unit they manage. When submitting a rental registration license application to the Village, those operators include the relevant lease copies, and they remain prepared to provide copies at any other time the Village requests them. Electronic copies are an accepted format, so maintaining a well-organized digital file of lease agreements supports ongoing compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Evergreen Park § 5-375 establishes that your landlord is obligated to maintain copies of written lease agreements and submit them to the Village as part of the rental registration process. This requirement creates a record that the Village can access, which may be relevant if questions arise about the terms of your tenancy. Tenants who believe a landlord is not meeting registration or documentation obligations can contact the Village of Evergreen Park directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
