Definitions
Operative Text
As used in this section, the following words and terms shall have the meaning ascribed thereto: Gambling activity shall mean any conduct which violates any provision of the gambling related portions of the Illinois State Criminal Code, or any local, state or federal law prohibiting gambling related activity. Illegal drug related activity shall mean any conduct which violates any provision of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the Illinois Drug Paraphernalia Control Act or any other local, state or federal law prohibiting the manufacture, distribution, delivery, use or possession of a controlled substance. Illegal or immoral activity shall mean any act or acts which would constitute a violation of the local, state or federal laws or acts involving moral turpitude.

University Park § 1469-01 establishes the working definitions for key terms used throughout the housing section's rules on prohibited conduct. The provision assigns specific legal meanings to four categories — gambling activity, illegal drug-related activity, illegal or immoral activity, and prostitution-related activity — by tying each to violations of applicable Illinois statutes or other local, state, or federal laws. These definitions set the interpretive boundaries for how those terms are applied elsewhere in the ordinance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1469-01, property owners and managers operating in University Park should be familiar with how the ordinance defines gambling activity, illegal drug-related activity, illegal or immoral activity, and prostitution-related activity, since these definitions govern how related conduct provisions are interpreted and enforced. Compliant operators typically incorporate these defined terms into lease agreements and property rules so that tenants have clear notice of the categories of conduct addressed by the local housing code. Understanding these definitions helps operators apply lease enforcement and lease termination procedures consistently with the ordinance's intent.
