Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 § 3-14-10 requires that all rental agreements, leases, and renewal agreements be in writing and signed by the tenant. Each such agreement must include a specific notice informing tenants that the Village of Streamwood may conduct annual inspections — with tenant consent — to verify compliance with the Rental Residential Property Ordinance and related Village Code provisions. Beyond these requirements, the ordinance is not intended to alter the broader rights and obligations that landlords and tenants already have under their lease or rental agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 § 3-14-10, compliant operators ensure that every rental agreement, lease, and renewal is documented in writing and bears the tenant's signature before occupancy or renewal begins. Operators also include the Village-mandated inspection notice verbatim in each agreement, alerting tenants that annual inspections may occur with their consent for code-compliance purposes. Maintaining organized, signed copies of all agreements — each containing the required notice language — is a standard practice for demonstrating compliance with this provision.

Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 § 3-14-10 establishes that tenants are entitled to a written, signed lease or rental agreement, and that any such agreement must include a notice about the Village's right to conduct annual inspections only with tenant consent. If a tenant believes their agreement lacks the required written form or the mandated inspection notice, that gap may be relevant to any dispute arising under the Streamwood Rental Residential Property Ordinance. Tenants who have questions about their rights under this provision can reach out to the Village of Streamwood directly or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
