Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 Rental Residential Property § 3-14-15
SEVERABILITY
Operative Text
Any provision of this chapter found to be invalid for any reason shall not render invalid any of the remaining provisions of this chapter, which can be given effect without the invalid provision. (Ord. 2000-9, 3-16-2000; amd. Ord. 2015-23, 10-1-2015, eff. 1-1-2016)
Section 3-14-15 of Streamwood's Rental Residential Property chapter establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any single part of the chapter is ever found legally invalid, that finding does not automatically invalidate the rest of the chapter. The remaining provisions continue to operate as written, so long as they can function independently of the invalidated portion. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when one component is successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-14-15, the severability clause means that a successful legal challenge to one part of Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 does not void the obligations imposed by the rest of the chapter. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other provisions of the chapter regardless of any litigation or ruling that may affect a specific section. Staying current with the chapter as a whole remains the standard practice, since most of its requirements remain enforceable even if one provision is struck down.

Section 3-14-15 provides tenants with assurance that the protections found throughout Streamwood's Rental Residential Property chapter are not all-or-nothing — if one provision is invalidated, the others remain in force. This means that rights and remedies established elsewhere in the chapter generally continue to be available even if a separate part of the chapter is successfully challenged. Tenants who have questions about which specific protections remain applicable may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the chapter directly.
