Livonia — Ch. 5.42 Rental Dwellings (Hotels, Lodginghouses, Roominghouses) § 5.42.050
License—Expiration date
Operative Text
All licenses issued under this chapter shall expire one (1) year from the date of issuance, unless sooner revoked or suspended.
Under Livonia's Ch. 5.42 Rental Dwellings § 5.42.050, any license issued for a hotel, lodginghouse, or roominghouse has a fixed lifespan of one year from the date it was issued. A license may also end before that year is up if it is revoked or suspended by the appropriate authority. Once a license expires, it no longer authorizes the operation of the covered rental dwelling.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of hotels, lodginghouses, and roominghouses in Livonia should be aware that under § 5.42.050, each license issued under Ch. 5.42 carries a one-year expiration date tied to its issuance date—not a fixed calendar date. Compliant operators typically track that anniversary date and initiate renewal well in advance to avoid any lapse in licensure. Operating without a valid, current license—whether due to expiration, suspension, or revocation—can expose a property owner to enforcement action under the chapter.

Tenants residing in hotels, lodginghouses, or roominghouses in Livonia may find it useful to know that under § 5.42.050, the facility where they live is required to hold a current, valid license that expires one year from issuance. If a tenant has reason to believe a facility is operating without a valid license—because it has expired or been revoked or suspended—they may consider contacting the relevant Livonia municipal authority to inquire about the property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents of Ch. 5.42-covered dwellings understand what options may be available when a property's license is not in good standing.
