Glen Ellyn § 7-5-5 requires that rooming house operators hold a valid, annually renewed license issued by the Village Clerk, which means tenants can inquire with the Village Clerk's office to confirm whether a rooming house they occupy or are considering is properly licensed. The licensing record includes details such as the building owner's name and address and the number of persons authorized per room, which can be relevant context when questions arise about occupancy or management.
