Hoffman Estates — Ch. 8 Art. 13 Residential Rental Property License § 8-13-5
Change of location
Operative Text
A Residential Rental Property temporary certificate and the license apply only to the property described in the application and license. No change of location shall be permitted.
Under Hoffman Estates Ch. 8 Art. 13 § 8-13-5, a Residential Rental Property license and any temporary certificate issued under that framework are tied exclusively to the specific property address listed in the original application. The license cannot be transferred or moved to a different property location under any circumstances. This means each rental property must have its own distinct license rather than sharing or reassigning one from another address.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8-13-5, compliant operators maintain a separate Residential Rental Property license for each individual rental property they own or manage, since no license may be reassigned to a different address. If a landlord acquires a new rental property or changes the address of operations, a fresh application and license are required for that location. Keeping accurate records of which license corresponds to which property address helps ensure ongoing compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 8-13-5 establishes that a Residential Rental Property license is valid only for the address named in the application, meaning a landlord cannot lawfully apply one license across multiple properties. Tenants who have reason to believe a property is operating under a license issued for a different address may raise this as a potential violation. General enforcement paths include contacting the relevant Hoffman Estates municipal authority or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
