Under East Dundee § 119.01, the rental licensing framework signals that compliant operators generally maintain their properties in accordance with the village's property maintenance standards, ensure units meet minimum space requirements per occupant, and address conditions that could pose health or safety risks. Operators who stay current with inspections and licensing requirements align with the chapter's goals of preventing blight and preserving neighborhood stability. Familiarity with the full scope of CHAPTER 119 helps property owners understand what the village expects across all aspects of rental property management.
