Fox Lake CHAPTER 2 HOUSING REGULATIONS § 6-2-7-3
NOTICE TO VILLAGE OF RENTAL DWELLING
Operative Text
The owner or person in charge of a rental dwelling shall provide the department of community development with written notice prior to allowing occupancy of the rental dwelling by a lessee or tenant. (Ord. 2016-07, 2-9-2016)
Under Fox Lake § 6-2-7-3, before any tenant or lessee is permitted to occupy a rental dwelling, the owner or person in charge of that property is required to submit written notice to the village's Department of Community Development. This rule applies each time a new occupancy is about to begin, creating a pre-occupancy notification obligation. The provision was established by Ordinance 2016-07, adopted February 9, 2016.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Fox Lake § 6-2-7-3 requires that property owners or managers submit written notice to the Department of Community Development before a new tenant or lessee moves into a rental dwelling. Compliant operators generally maintain records of each notice submitted and ensure the notification is delivered prior to—not after—the start of occupancy. Establishing a consistent internal checklist that triggers this step during the lease-signing process is a common practice among operators seeking to stay in compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Fox Lake § 6-2-7-3 places the pre-occupancy notification obligation squarely on the owner or person in charge of the rental dwelling, not on the tenant. If a tenant has reason to believe this notice was never filed, they may contact the Fox Lake Department of Community Development directly to inquire about the property's compliance status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Fox Lake village ordinances can also help residents understand what remedies or protections may be available under this provision.
