Glen Carbon CHAPTER 3 RENTAL PROPERTY § 9-3-10
PENALTY
Operative Text
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable as provided in section 1-4-1 of this code for each offense. Each day that any violation occurs or is permitted to continue shall be deemed a separate offense or violation. (Ord. 94-19, 8-23-1994; amd. 2001 Code)
Glen Carbon's Chapter 3 Rental Property rules carry criminal-style enforcement teeth under § 9-3-10: any individual, business, or corporation found guilty of violating any provision of the chapter faces punishment as set out in the village's general penalty section (§ 1-4-1). Critically, each calendar day that a violation exists or is allowed to continue is treated as its own separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate quickly over time. The provision applies broadly to all requirements found anywhere in Chapter 3.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental property in Glen Carbon should be aware that § 9-3-10 makes every uncorrected Chapter 3 violation a fresh offense with each passing day, so prompt remediation of any identified deficiency is the hallmark of compliant management. Keeping dated maintenance records, inspection logs, and correspondence with tenants helps demonstrate that violations were addressed rather than permitted to continue. Because penalties are tied to the general penalty schedule at § 1-4-1, understanding that schedule is part of staying informed about the full cost of non-compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 9-3-10, tenants living in Glen Carbon rental properties have the assurance that landlords face escalating consequences for each day a Chapter 3 violation goes unaddressed, which can be a meaningful incentive for timely repairs or corrections. If a tenant believes a landlord is violating Chapter 3, general enforcement paths include reporting the concern to the appropriate Glen Carbon municipal authority or consulting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Documenting the dates on which a problem exists or persists can be relevant, given that the provision treats each day of ongoing violation as a separate offense.
