Section § 8-14-1-2 of the Countryside residential rental housing code gives tenants a basis to verify whether their landlord has properly registered and licensed their rental unit with the City of Countryside. Tenants may contact the city directly to confirm a unit's registration status, and an owner's failure to comply with this provision may be relevant in housing-related proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Countryside ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be operating without the required registration or license.
