Hillside — Ch. 18 Art. XV Systematic Inspection of Rental Housing § 18-634
Notice to village of rental dwelling
Operative Text
The owner or person in charge of a rental dwelling shall provide the village administrator or assistant village administrator or their designee with written notice that a dwelling is being leased or rented. Such notice shall be given within 30 days of the effective date of this article. For any dwelling that is intended to become a rental dwelling after the effective date of this article, the owner or person in charge of the rental dwelling shall provide the same written notice prior to allowing the occupancy of the rental dwelling by a lessee or tenant.
Under Hillside Ch. 18 Art. XV § 18-634, owners or managers of rental dwellings are required to submit written notice to the village administrator (or assistant administrator, or their designee) identifying that a property is being used as a rental. Properties that were already rentals when the article took effect had 30 days from that date to file the notice, while properties that become rentals afterward must have the notice submitted before any tenant or lessee is allowed to move in. This registration requirement is part of the village's systematic inspection program for rental housing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-634, compliant rental property owners and managers in Hillside maintain a practice of submitting written notice to the village administrator or assistant village administrator before a new tenant occupies any unit that was not previously registered as a rental. For properties that were already operating as rentals when the article became effective, the notice window was 30 days from that effective date. Operators generally keep records of when such notices were submitted to demonstrate timely compliance with this registration requirement.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 18-634 of Hillside's Ch. 18 Art. XV establishes that your landlord is obligated to register the rental dwelling with the village before you are permitted to occupy it. If you have reason to believe a property was never registered as required, that may be relevant information when interacting with village officials or tenant-rights organizations familiar with Hillside's rental inspection program. Tenants can contact the village administrator's office directly to inquire about a property's registration status under this provision.
