Hoffman Estates — Ch. 8 Art. 13 Residential Rental Property License § 8-13-10
Severability
Operative Text
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Article 8-13 is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the remaining portions thereof.
Section 8-13-10 of Hoffman Estates Chapter 8, Article 13 is a standard severability clause. It establishes that if any part of Article 8-13—whether a full section, a subsection, a sentence, a clause, or a phrase—is struck down by a court as invalid or unconstitutional, that part is treated as legally separate from the rest. The remainder of Article 8-13 continues in full force as though the invalidated portion never existed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Hoffman Estates' residential rental property licensing requirements under Article 8-13 can take note that § 8-13-10 protects the overall regulatory framework from being entirely undone by a legal challenge to any single part. A compliant operator generally continues to follow all other provisions of Article 8-13 even if a court invalidates one specific requirement. Staying current with any court rulings or municipal updates affecting Article 8-13 is a practice consistent with ongoing compliance.

Section 8-13-10 means that tenants' protections and landlord obligations under Article 8-13 are not automatically eliminated if one part of the article is successfully challenged in court. The rest of the article's requirements—such as licensing obligations—remain enforceable even after a partial invalidation. Tenants who have questions about which specific provisions remain in effect after any legal challenge may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or review official municipal communications from Hoffman Estates.
