PENALTY
Operative Text
A. Any person who is found to be in violation when a citation is issued shall be fined not less than $100.00 nor more than $750.00. B. A violation shall be deemed to occur for each day the violation is present. C. Any person who fails to be licensed shall be fined not less than $250.00 each day not licensed from date of issuance of citation. (Ord. 1959, 9-9-2020)
Monee CHAPTER 18 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSING PROGRAM § 3-18-4 establishes financial penalties for violations of the residential rental licensing program. A cited violation carries a fine ranging from $100 to $750, and each day a violation continues counts as a separate, additional violation. Operating a rental property without the required license triggers a minimum fine of $250 for every day the property remains unlicensed from the date the citation is issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-18-4, compliant rental property operators in Monee maintain an active residential rental license at all times and promptly correct any cited violations to avoid compounding daily fines. Because each day of non-compliance is treated as a distinct violation, an unresolved issue can quickly accumulate fines between $100 and $750 per day, while operating without a license carries a separate minimum of $250 per day from the citation date. Operators generally keep licensing paperwork current and address inspection findings without delay to limit exposure under this provision.

Section § 3-18-4 of Monee's Residential Rental Licensing Program establishes that landlords who operate without a license or who allow violations to persist face escalating daily fines, which signals that the municipality takes licensing compliance seriously. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating an unlicensed rental or maintaining uncorrected violations may contact the appropriate Monee municipal authority to report the concern and inquire about the citation process under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations can help renters understand how a landlord's licensing status or outstanding violations might be relevant to their housing situation.
