Glen Carbon CHAPTER 3 RENTAL PROPERTY § 9-3-8
COMPLIANCE WITH VILLAGE REGULATIONS
Operative Text
A. Compliance With Registration Requirements: It shall be unlawful for the owner of any premises containing one or more rental dwelling units or any agent acting for such an owner to allow occupancy of any rental dwelling unit on the premises by another, or to represent to the general public that such premises or any part thereof is for rent or lease, unless said rental housing is currently registered with the village and such registration has not been invalidated or revoked. B. Compliance With Zoning Regulations: All rental property addressed by this chapter must be in compliance with the appropriate zoning district classification of the village. (Ord. 94-19, 8-23-1994)
Glen Carbon § 9-3-8 establishes two baseline compliance requirements for rental housing in the village. First, it is unlawful for a property owner or their agent to rent out, allow occupancy of, or advertise any rental dwelling unit unless that property is currently and validly registered with the village. Second, all rental properties covered by this chapter must conform to the applicable zoning district classification for their location within Glen Carbon.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glen Carbon § 9-3-8, compliant rental property operators maintain an active, unrevoked village registration before allowing any tenant to occupy a unit or before advertising the unit as available for rent or lease. Operators also verify that each rental property is situated in a zoning district that permits residential rental use. Keeping registration current and confirming zoning compliance before listing or re-leasing a unit are the hallmarks of an operator in good standing under this provision.

Glen Carbon § 9-3-8 gives tenants a basis to check whether their rental unit is properly registered with the village, since occupancy of an unregistered unit is itself a violation of local law. If a unit appears to be unregistered or the landlord is advertising an unregistered property, tenants can contact the Village of Glen Carbon directly to inquire about registration status or report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois municipal housing codes can also help residents understand what remedies or defenses may be available when a landlord is out of compliance with § 9-3-8.
