Under Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 § 3-14-7, compliant rental property operators generally keep their properties licensed with the village at all times, maintain the structure and premises in accordance with applicable building, property maintenance, and zoning ordinances, and cooperate fully with scheduled inspections as required by § 3-14-5. Operators also ensure that a designated property agent is appointed and maintained as required by § 3-14-4H, and they take prompt action to vacate tenants within 60 days if a license or temporary certificate is revoked. Allowing posted notices to remain intact and undisturbed is also part of maintaining compliance under this chapter.

Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 § 3-14-7 establishes that occupants of a rental property may be required to vacate within 60 days if they receive notice from the code official that the property is not properly licensed or that its license has been revoked. Tenants who receive such a notice may want to review the village's rental licensing requirements and understand that the owner also bears independent obligations under this chapter, including maintaining the property in code compliance. Tenant-rights organizations or local legal aid resources can help occupants understand their options when a property's licensing status is in question.
