For Property Managers

Under § 98.04, compliant rental property operators submit a fully completed written application to the Department of Community Development no fewer than 30 days before a new license is needed or before an existing one expires. Operators ensure the application is signed by the legal title holder and includes all required information — owner and agent contact details, maintenance personnel authority statements, management agreements or executed substitutes, and current fire alarm test results per § 98.13(D). Land trust owners specifically must identify all beneficial interest holders and those with power of direction in the trust.

For Tenants

§ 98.04 requires that landlords operating rental dwellings in Schiller Park hold a valid operating license obtained through a documented application process with the Department of Community Development. Tenants can check whether their landlord has complied with this licensing requirement, as an unlicensed operator may be in violation of local code — a fact that can be relevant in certain housing disputes or code-enforcement proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing authorities can help residents understand how licensing status under § 98.04 may relate to their situation.
