Bloomingdale CHAPTER 11 § 4-11-7 establishes a set of behavioral responsibilities for tenants living in residential rental units. The provision divides prohibited conduct into two tiers: 'egregious' conduct (such as drug trafficking, violent acts, and commercial use of the unit) and 'objectionable' conduct (such as disturbing the peace, excessive noise, and violating fire or life-safety codes). Tenants are responsible not only for their own behavior but also for the conduct of others they allow onto the premises. Landlords holding a Residential Rental License are separately required to notify tenants of these rules and to cooperate with police if prohibited activity is suspected.

Under Bloomingdale CHAPTER 11 § 4-11-7, license holders are required to deliver written notice to all tenants—in the form and manner prescribed by the Building and Zoning Department—explaining each tenant's responsibilities and the Village's authority to impose individual fines of up to $1,000 per violation. Compliant operators also actively supervise their properties to prevent tenants from engaging in either egregious or objectionable conduct as defined in the provision. When a license holder knows or suspects that egregious conduct or other criminal activity is occurring on the premises, the provision requires immediate notification and cooperation with the Village's police department.

Bloomingdale CHAPTER 11 § 4-11-7 sets out specific behavioral standards that every tenant in a residential rental unit must follow, covering a broad range of conduct from serious criminal activity to noise and life-safety code compliance. Tenants are also responsible for ensuring that guests and others they invite onto the premises do not engage in the prohibited conduct listed in the provision. Tenants who believe their rights under this or related provisions are being misapplied, or who have questions about how the Village's enforcement process works, may wish to review the notice provided by their landlord, contact the Bloomingdale Building and Zoning Department for clarification, or consult a local tenant-rights organization.
