Glenwood — Ch. 26 Art. XI Landlords § 26-817
Short-term rentals prohibited
Operative Text
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to operate, use, offer for rent or use, or advertise for rent or use, any property within the village as a short-term rental except as set forth in subsection (b) below. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in subsection (a) above, when a preceding owner of a property maintains possession of a dwelling unit after closing for the sale thereof and leases the property back from the successor owner for a period of time pursuant to a written agreement, such possession shall not be considered a short-term rental under this chapter.
Glenwood Ch. 26 Art. XI § 26-817 makes it unlawful for any person or entity to operate, offer, or advertise a property within the village as a short-term rental. There is one narrow exception: when a seller of a property stays on after the sale closes and leases the property back from the new owner under a written agreement, that arrangement is not treated as a short-term rental under this chapter. Outside of that specific post-sale leaseback scenario, short-term rentals are broadly prohibited throughout the village.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glenwood § 26-817, property owners and managers are generally expected to refrain from listing, advertising, or operating any unit as a short-term rental within village limits. Compliant operators do not use platforms or other channels to offer short-term occupancy arrangements, as the prohibition covers operation, use, and advertising alike. The only recognized exception involves a post-closing leaseback arrangement with a prior owner, which must be documented in a written agreement to fall outside the chapter's definition of a short-term rental.

Glenwood § 26-817 establishes that short-term rentals are broadly prohibited in the village, which may be relevant to tenants who encounter or are offered such arrangements. If a tenant believes a landlord is operating an unlawful short-term rental in violation of this provision, they may consider contacting the village's code enforcement or municipal authorities to report the activity. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Glenwood ordinances can help individuals understand how this prohibition may affect their housing situation.
