Any person, firm, corporation or limited liability company violating any of the provisions of this Article 8-13 shall be fined as set out in the general penalty in Section 8-14-1 of this Chapter for each offense. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
Section 8-13-11 of Hoffman Estates Chapter 8, Article 13 establishes that any individual, firm, corporation, or LLC that violates any provision of the Residential Rental Property License article is subject to a fine for each offense, as defined by the general penalty provision in Section 8-14-1. Critically, each day that a violation persists is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning fines can accumulate on a daily basis until the violation is corrected.
