Norridge — Ch. 22 Art. XII Rental Property Licensing Code § 22-619
Operation of rental dwelling without license—violation
Operative Text
A person who allows to be occupied, lets or offers to let to another, any dwelling unit, without having the license or temporary license required by this article, is in violation of this article, punishable as provided in chapter 38 , section 22-619 of the Village Code. The practice of pre-leasing new rental construction shall be exempt from the provisions of this section.
Under Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-619, any person who rents out, offers to rent, or allows occupancy of a dwelling unit without first holding the required rental property license or temporary license is in violation of the Rental Property Licensing Code. Penalties for such violations are governed by Chapter 38, Section 22-619 of the Village Code. One narrow exemption exists: pre-leasing of newly constructed rental units is not subject to this particular requirement.

Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-619 makes clear that compliant rental property operators secure the required license or temporary license before a unit is occupied, offered for rent, or let to any tenant. Operators who pre-lease newly constructed rental units benefit from a specific exemption under this section, but all other rental activity requires a valid license to be in place. Maintaining current licensure and renewing it on schedule are the hallmarks of operating within this provision's requirements.

Under Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-619, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their landlord holds the required rental property license, since operating without one is a code violation subject to penalties under Village Code Chapter 38. If a tenant believes their unit is being rented without the required license, they may consider contacting the Village of Norridge directly to inquire about the property's licensing status or to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local municipal codes can also help explain what options may be available in such a situation.
