Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-410, operators of licensed rental dwelling units in McCook are expected to retain executed copies of every lease agreement for each unit covered by their license. Compliant operators maintain an organized filing system — whether physical or digital — so that any lease can be promptly produced when the building commissioner requests it. Keeping records current after renewals, amendments, or new tenancies is a standard part of ongoing compliance with this article.

Section 18-410 creates a landlord obligation that indirectly supports tenants: because landlords must keep signed lease copies on file and provide them to the building commissioner on request, there is an official channel through which lease terms can be verified. Tenants who believe their landlord is not maintaining proper records under this provision may contact the McCook building commissioner's office to raise the concern. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how this record-keeping requirement fits into the broader licensing framework of Ch. 18 Art. XIV.
