Bellwood CHAPTER 124: LICENSING OF MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS AND SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS FOR RENT § 124.13
RENEWAL
Operative Text
No operating license shall be renewed unless an application therefore has been made within 30 and not less than ten days prior to the expiration of the present operating license. (Ord. 03-43, passed 8-20-03; Am. Ord. 03-59, passed 11-12-03)
Under Bellwood § 124.13, an operating license for a multi-family dwelling or single-family rental unit cannot be renewed unless the renewal application is submitted within a specific window: no earlier than 30 days before the current license expires and no later than 10 days before it expires. Applications filed outside this window are not eligible for renewal under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental properties subject to Bellwood § 124.13 generally track their current operating license expiration date and submit renewal applications during the prescribed 30-to-10-day window before that date. Compliant property managers typically maintain a calendar reminder to ensure the application is neither submitted too early nor allowed to slip past the 10-day minimum threshold. Missing this window can result in the inability to renew the existing license, which may affect the property's legal operating status.

Bellwood § 124.13 establishes a renewal requirement that landlords must follow to maintain a valid operating license for rental properties. Tenants who have reason to believe their landlord's license has lapsed or was not properly renewed may contact the appropriate Bellwood municipal authority to inquire about a property's current licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a rental property is operating without a valid license.
