Scope
Operative Text
(a) Territorial Application: This article applies to, regulates and determines rights, obligations and remedies under a rental agreement, wherever made, for a dwelling unit located within the village. (b) Exclusions: The following arrangements are not governed herein: (1) Residence at a public or private medical, geriatric, educational, religious, nursing or retirement institution; (2) Residence in a residential care home as provided for and approved by the village; (3) Transient occupancy in a hotel or motel licensed by the village. (Ord. 98-10, § 1, 3-9-1998; Ord. 2016-20, § 1, 5-23-2016)
Justice Ch. 8 Art. XII (§ 8-502) establishes which rental arrangements fall within the village's annual residential inspection program. The article covers any dwelling unit located within the village, regardless of where the rental agreement was originally signed. However, it does not apply to residences at medical, geriatric, educational, religious, nursing, or retirement institutions; village-approved residential care homes; or transient occupancies in village-licensed hotels or motels.

Under § 8-502, property owners and managers operating rental dwelling units within the Village of Justice should be aware that this article's inspection requirements apply to their units regardless of where the lease was executed. Operators of standard residential rental properties are generally expected to comply with the full scope of Ch. 8 Art. XII obligations. Those managing facilities that qualify as institutional residences or village-approved residential care homes should confirm in writing with the village whether their specific property type falls within one of the enumerated exclusions.

Section 8-502 defines who is protected by Justice's annual residential inspection framework, and most tenants renting a dwelling unit within the village are covered by it. If a landlord claims a rental arrangement falls outside the article's scope, tenants can review the exclusions listed in § 8-502(b) to assess whether that claim appears consistent with the provision's text. Tenants who have questions about whether their housing is covered may find it helpful to contact the Village of Justice directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
