Hanover Park Ch. 82 § 82-7 establishes the process by which rental residential property owners must apply for and renew operating licenses with the village. Applications must be submitted in writing at least 30 days before a license is needed or before an existing license expires, and must be signed by the legal title holder. The application requires detailed contact information for owners, managing agents, maintenance personnel, and alarm service companies, as well as a plan for any budgeted improvements to multi-unit buildings. Owners are also required to notify the code official within seven days whenever any of the submitted information changes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hanover Park Ch. 82 § 82-7, compliant rental property operators submit a fully completed, signed license application to the village at least 30 days before the desired issuance date or before their current license expires. Operators ensure the application includes accurate contact details for all owners, managing agents (particularly if the owner lives outside the village), maintenance staff, and alarm service companies, along with an improvement plan for multi-unit properties. When any of that information changes — such as a new managing agent or updated phone number — compliant operators notify the code official within seven days of the change.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Hanover Park Ch. 82 § 82-7 requires that rental properties in the village be licensed, meaning landlords must have filed a complete application with up-to-date ownership and management contact information. Tenants can use this provision to understand who is legally responsible for the property and who is authorized to accept notices of violations on the owner's behalf. If a rental property appears to be operating without a valid license or with outdated contact information on file, tenants may contact the village's code official to raise the issue or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
