Residential rental unit certificate
Operative Text
An owner of a residential rental unit who does not reside on the same premises as the rental unit, or any corporation, partnership or limited liability company that owns a residential rental unit shall obtain from the clerk of the village a residential rental unit certificate.
Kenmore Village Code ch. 12, art. V § 12-83 establishes a certificate requirement for certain residential rental unit owners. Specifically, owners who do not live on the same property as their rental unit—as well as any corporate, partnership, or LLC owners—must obtain a residential rental unit certificate from the village clerk. This rule does not apply to owner-occupants who share the same premises with their tenants.

Under Kenmore Vill. Code ch. 12, art. V § 12-83, compliant non-resident landlords and any business entities (corporations, partnerships, or LLCs) that own residential rental units obtain a residential rental unit certificate from the village clerk before operating. Operators typically keep this certificate current and on file to demonstrate compliance with the village's registration requirements. Owner-occupants sharing the same premises as their tenants are generally not subject to this particular certificate requirement.

Kenmore Vill. Code ch. 12, art. V § 12-83 gives tenants a basis to verify whether their landlord—if a non-resident individual or a business entity—has obtained the required residential rental unit certificate from the village clerk. Tenants who believe their landlord has not complied with this registration requirement may contact the Village of Kenmore directly or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Lack of a required certificate may be relevant information in certain housing-related proceedings.
