Under Wheeling Ch. 4.84 § 4.84.080, compliant rental property owners generally ensure their property is licensed with the Village of Wheeling before renting it out and keep that license current. When a license is revoked, operators typically take prompt steps to vacate all tenants within the sixty-day window specified by the provision.
