Operators seeking a rooming-house license under East Peoria Title 3 Ch. 17 § 3-17-4 generally prepare a written application that is complete and accurate before submitting it to the city clerk. A compliant application identifies the applicant's full name and address, the building owner's full name and address, each room designated as a sleeping room, and the proposed number of occupants per room. The application must be notarized — meaning the applicant signs it before a notary public who verifies the oath — before the city clerk will process it.

East Peoria Title 3 Ch. 17 § 3-17-4 requires that a rooming-house operator obtain a license before renting sleeping rooms, and that the license application on file with the city clerk accurately reflect the number of persons allowed in each room. Tenants who believe a rooming house is operating without a proper license, or that the occupancy information on file is inaccurate, may contact the East Peoria city clerk's office to inquire about the license status of a property. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what remedies or complaints may be available when a rooming house appears to be operating outside its licensed terms.
