Skokie — Ch. 22 Art. XIV Rental Unit Registration § 22-507
Owner seminar
Operative Text
The Owner or Operator applying for registration shall have successfully completed the Village Residential Rental Property Landlord Seminar (hereinafter "Village Seminar") within three (3) months from the date of registration. A. An Owner or Operator of any Residential Rental Unit, who has successfully completed prior professional training commensurate with the Village Seminar, may apply to the Village Manager or designee for a waiver from the Seminar requirement. The Village Manager or designee, in his or her sole discretion, shall determine whether the applicant's prior professional training constitutes the substantial equivalent of the Village's Seminar. B. An Owner or Operator who successfully completes the Village Seminar shall not be required to attend another Village Seminar during subsequent renewal of registration. However, if an Operator who completed the Village Seminar is replaced, the Owner or the new Operator shall attend the Seminar. C. The Village Manager may require an Owner or Operator to re-attend and complete a Village Seminar if there are multiple code violations within an eighteen (18) month period.
Under Skokie Ch. 22 Art. XIV § 22-507, anyone registering a residential rental property must complete the Village Residential Rental Property Landlord Seminar within three months of registration. Completion is a one-time requirement for ongoing renewals, but if an operator is replaced, the owner or new operator must attend. The Village Manager has discretion to waive the seminar for those with equivalent prior training, and can require re-attendance if multiple code violations occur within an 18-month period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 22-507, compliant rental property owners and operators in Skokie generally complete the Village Seminar within three months of initial registration and retain documentation of that completion for future renewal cycles. Owners who have prior professional training comparable to the seminar's content can submit a waiver application to the Village Manager or designee, who makes the final determination. When an operator changes, owners ensure the new operator attends the seminar, and owners with multiple code violations within 18 months should be aware that re-attendance may be required.
