Mount Prospect Art. XVIII Residential Landlord and Tenant Regulations § 23.1823
SEVERABILITY
Operative Text
If any provision or part thereof of this article is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and of no further force and effect, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this article which shall remain in full force and effect. (Ord. 3366, 9-6-1983; amd. Ord. 4868, 6-17-1997; Ord. 5619, 3-6-2007; Ord. 5745, 6-16-2009; Ord. 5807, 8-3-2010)
Section 23.1823 of Mount Prospect's Residential Landlord and Tenant Regulations contains a standard severability clause, meaning that if any single part of Article XVIII is found unconstitutional or legally invalid by a court, only that specific part is struck down. The rest of the article continues to operate as written, unaffected by the invalidated portion. This structural rule is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when individual provisions face legal challenges.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 23.1823, property owners and managers can rely on the fact that Article XVIII's tenant and landlord obligations remain enforceable as a whole, even if a court invalidates one specific provision. Compliant operators generally continue following all other requirements of the article without interruption when a legal challenge targets only a discrete section. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting Article XVIII helps operators understand which, if any, specific obligations may be affected at a given time.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 23.1823 provides tenants with assurance that their protections under Mount Prospect's Article XVIII are not entirely eliminated if one part of the article is struck down by a court. Rights and remedies established in other sections of the article remain in full force and effect regardless of such a ruling. Tenants who have questions about whether a specific provision remains valid may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Mount Prospect regulations.
