Dolton CHAPTER 123: RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES § 123.003
NOTICE OF FAILURE TO LICENSE
Operative Text
Whenever an owner or property agent of a rental property fails to license the property, the village shall post a notice on all entrances to the rental properly containing the following statement: You are hereby notified that the owner or agent of this rental structure has failed to license this rental property with the Village of Dolton in violation of § 123.002 of the Village of Dolton Municipal Code. No new leases may be entered into and no leases may be renewed until the proper license is secured. (Ord. 07-417, passed 10-1-2007)
Under Dolton CHAPTER 123: RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES § 123.003, when a rental property owner or their agent has not obtained the required village license, the Village of Dolton is authorized to post a public notice on every entrance to that property. The posted notice informs anyone entering or viewing the property that the owner is in violation of § 123.002 of the Village of Dolton Municipal Code. While that notice remains in place, no new leases may be signed and no existing leases may be renewed until the proper license is obtained.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliance with the licensing requirement under § 123.002 is what prevents the Village of Dolton from triggering the notice-posting procedure described in § 123.003. Operators who maintain a current, valid rental property license avoid having the village post violation notices on their building's entrances, which can disrupt leasing activity and signal non-compliance to prospective tenants. A compliant property manager typically keeps licensing records current and renews on schedule so that no interruption to leasing operations occurs.

Section § 123.003 of Dolton's municipal code gives tenants and prospective renters a visible signal — a village-posted notice on building entrances — that a landlord has failed to meet licensing requirements under § 123.002. If such a notice is posted on a building, the provision explicitly states that no new leases may be entered into and no existing leases may be renewed until the license is secured. Tenants who encounter this situation may wish to contact the Village of Dolton directly for information about the property's licensing status, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
