Under Le Roy Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-2, compliant residential rental operators secure a valid City-issued certificate of compliance before listing, offering, or allowing occupancy of any rental unit. Operators generally maintain that certificate on a current basis and ensure it remains valid throughout any tenancy. Allowing a unit to be occupied—or even advertising it for rent—without the certificate in place constitutes a violation of this provision.

Le Roy Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-2 makes it unlawful for a tenant to occupy a residential rental property that lacks a valid City-issued certificate of compliance, meaning the compliance obligation touches both sides of the rental relationship. Tenants who discover their unit may not have the required certificate can inquire with the City of Le Roy about the property's compliance status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois municipal housing codes can help explain what options may be available when a rental property is found to be operating without the required certificate.
