Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9A-9
LICENSE UPDATED UPON SALE
Operative Text
Upon the sale or transfer of any multiple-family dwelling unit, said unit shall be deemed stricken from any license issued pursuant to this chapter. Such license shall remain valid for remaining units set forth on said license. This is not applicable upon any court controlled transfer. (Ord. 2012-42, 7-26-2012)
Under Woodridge Chapter 9, § 3-9A-9, when a multiple-family dwelling unit is sold or transferred, that specific unit is automatically removed from the seller's existing residential rental license. The remaining units covered by the same license are unaffected and the license continues in force for them. This automatic removal does not apply when the transfer is ordered or controlled by a court.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under a Woodridge residential rental license should be aware that § 3-9A-9 treats each sale or transfer of an individual unit as an automatic removal of that unit from the existing license. Compliant operators typically track which units are covered under their license and account for any ownership changes so that licensing records remain accurate. Because court-controlled transfers are exempt from this rule, operators involved in such proceedings generally confirm whether the exemption applies before assuming a unit remains on or is removed from a license.

Section § 3-9A-9 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance establishes that a unit's licensing status can change when ownership changes hands, which may affect whether a unit is operating under a valid rental license. Tenants who experience a change in ownership of their unit may want to verify with the Village of Woodridge that the new owner has obtained proper licensing for the unit. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Woodridge municipal code can help residents understand what licensing requirements mean for their rental situation and what options may be available if a unit is operating without a valid license.
