Moline DIVISION 1. RENTAL HOUSING INSPECTION PROGRAM § 8-8107 establishes both fines and administrative fees for the city's rental housing inspection program. Anyone who violates, ignores, or assists in violating the division's requirements may be fined between $100 and $750 per violation, with each day a violation continues counting as a separate offense. The provision also sets out a schedule of fees—covering applications, late filings, missed inspections, and re-inspections—that rental property owners must pay to participate in the program.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8-8107, compliant operators generally submit their rental housing inspection applications on time, pay the applicable fees (including the $100 base application fee and $15 per additional unit), and keep scheduled inspection appointments to avoid missed-inspection and re-inspection charges. Because each day of non-compliance can be treated as a separate offense carrying fines up to $750, operators typically address any cited infractions promptly. Staying current with the fee schedule—including the late application fee of $50, which began being assessed after July 1, 2024—helps avoid compounding financial exposure.

§ 8-8107 is part of Moline's rental housing inspection framework, which is designed to ensure rental units meet required standards; the inspection and fee requirements placed on landlords exist to support that goal. Tenants who believe a landlord is operating outside the program's requirements—such as failing to register or correct cited violations—may report concerns to the relevant Moline municipal authority responsible for administering the rental housing inspection program. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Moline's local ordinances can help residents understand how the inspection program's enforcement mechanisms may relate to their housing situation.
