Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII. RENTAL HOUSING § 5-376
Provisions of Written Rental Agreements or Lease
Operative Text
All written rental agreements or leases shall contain the following information: (a) Full name and contact information for each tenant on the rental agreement or lease. (b) The names of all persons other than a tenant permitted the dwelling unit pursuant to the rental agreement or lease. (c) The maximum occupancy levels permitted in the dwelling unit based upon the Property Maintenance Code. (Am. Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Evergreen Park § 5-376 requires that every written rental agreement or lease include three specific categories of information: the full name and contact details of each tenant who is a party to the agreement, the names of any other individuals authorized to occupy the unit under the agreement, and the maximum occupancy limits for the dwelling unit as determined by the Property Maintenance Code. This rule establishes a baseline disclosure standard for all written rental contracts in the village. The provision was amended by Ordinance No. 27-2025, effective December 15, 2025.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Evergreen Park § 5-376, compliant landlords and property managers ensure that every written lease or rental agreement they issue includes the full name and contact information for each tenant, a list of any other permitted occupants, and the unit's maximum occupancy level as set by the Property Maintenance Code. Operators generally review their standard lease templates to confirm all three required elements are present before any agreement is signed. Keeping records of the Property Maintenance Code occupancy limits for each unit helps ensure that the correct figure is consistently reflected in new and renewed agreements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Evergreen Park § 5-376 gives tenants the right to receive a written rental agreement or lease that clearly identifies all tenants by full name and contact information, lists any other permitted occupants, and states the maximum occupancy allowed under the Property Maintenance Code. If a lease a tenant has signed appears to be missing one or more of these required elements, that tenant may wish to raise the issue with the landlord in writing or contact the Village of Evergreen Park directly to understand available remedies. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois municipal housing law can also help explain what options may be available when a lease does not meet the requirements of § 5-376.
