Operative Text
(A) Whenever a property owner gets notice of a permit denial, suspension or threatened revocation and required vacating of a license issued under this chapter, the licensee shall have the right to request a hearing. The request shall be made within seven (7) days of receipt of the notice. The request shall be made by certified or registered mail, overnight courier or hand delivery to the village building department.

Under Midlothian CHAPTER 19 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING § 4-19-6, when a property owner receives notice that a residential rental permit has been denied, suspended, or is facing revocation—along with a required vacating of the license—the owner has the right to contest that decision through a formal hearing. To trigger this process, a written hearing request must be submitted within seven days of receiving the notice, using certified or registered mail, overnight courier, or hand delivery to the village building department. Once a valid request is received, the village president is responsible for convening a hearing following the procedures outlined in section 5-1-11 of the municipal code.

Property owners and managers operating under Midlothian CHAPTER 19 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING § 4-19-6 who receive a notice of permit denial, suspension, or threatened revocation generally act promptly to preserve their appeal rights by submitting a hearing request within the seven-day window. Compliant operators use one of the specified delivery methods—certified or registered mail, overnight courier, or hand delivery—directed to the village building department, and retain proof of delivery. Keeping organized records of all licensing correspondence helps ensure that notice dates and deadlines can be clearly established if a hearing is pursued.

Midlothian CHAPTER 19 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING § 4-19-6 establishes a formal hearing process that a property owner may invoke when their rental license is at risk, which can directly affect the status of a rental property and its occupants. Tenants living in a property subject to a permit action may want to monitor the status of their building's license through the village building department, as a license revocation or required vacating order could have implications for their housing. Tenants facing uncertainty about their housing situation as a result of licensing proceedings may find it useful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand what options may be available to them.
