Norridge — Ch. 22 Art. XII Rental Property Licensing Code § 22-617
Vacation of affected dwelling units
Operative Text
When an application for license has been denied, or a rental certificate or temporary license has been revoked, suspended, or not renewed, or when the owner has not obtained a current license or temporary license upon proper application as required by this article, the building official may order the dwelling or the affected dwelling units therein vacated, giving occupants a reasonable time to arrange new housing and to move their possessions.
Under Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-617, when a rental property's license or temporary license has been denied, revoked, suspended, or not renewed — or when an owner has simply failed to obtain the required license — the building official is empowered to order the affected dwelling or individual units to be vacated. Occupants are entitled to a reasonable period of time to find new housing and move their belongings before the order takes effect. This provision gives the building official discretionary authority to act on licensing failures that affect the habitability and legal status of rental units.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 22-617 of the Norridge Rental Property Licensing Code makes clear that a lapse, denial, revocation, or suspension of a rental license can trigger a building official's order to vacate the affected units. Compliant operators generally maintain current licenses, respond promptly to renewal deadlines, and address any licensing deficiencies before they escalate to enforcement action. Keeping licensing documentation current and communicating proactively with the building department are practices associated with avoiding the circumstances that lead to a vacation order under this provision.

Under § 22-617 of the Norridge Rental Property Licensing Code, if your landlord's rental license has been denied, revoked, suspended, or not renewed, the building official has the authority to order your unit vacated — but the provision requires that occupants be given a reasonable time to find new housing and move their possessions. If you receive or become aware of a vacation order, you may wish to contact the Norridge building department to understand the basis and timeline of the order. Tenant-rights organizations can help you understand what options may be available when a vacation order is issued under this provision.
