Inverness CHAPTER 15 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING CODE § 3-15-13
OTHER VIOLATIONS
Operative Text
A. The following shall constitute violations of this chapter: 1. Failure of the occupants of the rental residential property to vacate such property within forty five (45) days after receiving notice from the Administrator that such property is not properly licensed or that the license has been revoked. 2. Any person other than an inspector from the Village who removes or defaces any notices which have been posted pursuant to this chapter without the approval of the Administrator shall be liable for the penalties provided for by this chapter. (Ord. 18-994, 6-12-2018)
Under Inverness CHAPTER 15 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING CODE § 3-15-13, two distinct acts constitute violations of the residential rental housing code. First, if occupants remain in a rental property after receiving official notice from the Administrator that the property lacks proper licensing or has had its license revoked, failing to vacate within 45 days triggers a violation. Second, any person—other than a Village inspector—who removes or defaces notices posted under this chapter without the Administrator's approval is subject to the chapter's prescribed penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-15-13, compliant operators ensure that their rental properties maintain valid licenses at all times and promptly address any licensing deficiencies identified by the Administrator. When the Administrator posts official notices on a property, landlords and their agents take care not to remove or deface those notices without explicit Administrator approval, as doing so constitutes a separate violation subject to chapter penalties. Operators familiar with this provision also understand that occupants who remain beyond the 45-day vacate window following a licensing notice may themselves be in violation, which can affect the overall compliance status of the property.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 3-15-13, tenants who receive official notice from the Administrator that their rental property is unlicensed or has had its license revoked have a 45-day window to vacate before a violation is triggered against them. Tenants in this situation may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available during that period, including any rights related to relocation or challenging the underlying licensing determination. Additionally, tenants should be aware that posted notices on the property are legally significant documents and that unauthorized removal or defacement of those notices by any non-inspector party is itself a violation under this provision.
