Le Roy, Ill., Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-4
Certificate of Compliance Conditions and Term (Le Roy Rental Housing Inspection and Certification Ordinance)
Operative Text
[ 3-4-2024 by Ord. No. 24-03-02-53 ] A. A certificate of compliance will remain valid until the sooner of any of the following occurs: 1. The City revokes or suspends the certificate of compliance in accordance with this chapter; 2. Twelve months have passed since the date of the certificate of compliance's issuance; or 3. The residential rental property is damaged or destroyed to the extent that it is no longer habitable. B. A certificate of compliance may not be transferred between owners. C. A certificate of compliance may not be transferred from one residential rental property to another. D. The owner must maintain the certificate of compliance on the premises of the residential rental property for which the certificate was issued. The owner shall produce the certificate of compliance at the City's reasonable request.
Under Le Roy, Ill., Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-4, a certificate of compliance for a residential rental property has a limited lifespan and is tied to both the specific owner and the specific property. The certificate expires after twelve months, upon revocation or suspension by the City, or if the property becomes uninhabitable due to damage or destruction—whichever comes first. Certificates cannot be transferred to a new owner or applied to a different property, and the certificate must be kept on-site and made available to the City upon reasonable request.

Operators of residential rental properties in Le Roy should be aware that under § 9-8-4, each certificate of compliance is property-specific and owner-specific, meaning it cannot be reassigned if the property is sold or used to cover a different rental unit. Compliant operators typically track the certificate's issuance date to ensure renewal before the twelve-month expiration and keep the physical certificate on the premises at all times. When the City makes a reasonable request to see the certificate, a compliant operator produces it promptly.

Under Le Roy, Ill., Mun. Code ch. 9-8 § 9-8-4, tenants have an interest in knowing that their rental property should have a valid, current certificate of compliance on-site at all times. If a property changes ownership or the certificate appears to be expired or missing, that may indicate a compliance issue worth noting. Tenants who have concerns about whether their property holds a valid certificate can contact the City of Le Roy directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
