Under § 153.15, compliant rental property operators in Romeoville maintain an up-to-date registration on file with the Department of Community Services and Development's Code Administration/Enforcement Division, using the village-provided form. A separate form is required for each individual rental property in an operator's portfolio.

Section § 153.15 of Romeoville's rental property regulations establishes that your landlord or property manager is required to register the rental property with the village and keep that registration current, including accurate contact information for the owner, managing agent, and emergency contacts. This registration is intended to ensure the village has reliable information about who is responsible for each property.
