Norridge — Ch. 22 Art. XII Rental Property Licensing Code § 22-600
Purpose, policy, and applicability
Operative Text
This article is adopted to provide for the licensing and inspection of all rental dwelling units within the village. It establishes the licensing requirements for rental residential property of all types and is adopted to protect village residents. A rental license helps assure renters and those charged with protecting the village that the licensed home, apartment, or dwelling unit has met appropriate minimum housing safety standards. This program provides owners with consistent enforcement of property maintenance and safety codes. It is intended to encourage owners to maintain, repair and improve the quality of rental housing in the community. The process protects the character and stability of residential areas, and improves property values throughout the village.
Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-600 establishes a village-wide licensing and inspection program covering all rental dwelling units, from single apartments to larger residential properties. The rule sets minimum housing safety standards that rental units must meet before a license is issued, and it ties consistent property-maintenance and safety-code enforcement to that licensing process. The stated goals of the program include protecting residents, preserving neighborhood character, and supporting property values across the village.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-600, operators of rental residential property of any type are subject to the village's licensing and inspection requirements. Compliant operators generally obtain and maintain a valid rental license, ensure their units meet the minimum housing safety standards required for licensure, and keep up with ongoing property maintenance and safety-code obligations. Participating in this program is how owners demonstrate to the village that their rental homes, apartments, or dwelling units satisfy the baseline standards the code requires.

Norridge Ch. 22 Art. XII § 22-600 is designed in part to protect renters by requiring that licensed rental units meet minimum housing safety standards before a license is granted. Tenants can ask whether their unit holds a current rental license as a way of gauging whether the property has been inspected and found to meet those baseline standards. Renters who have concerns about housing conditions or licensing status may contact the Village of Norridge directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to learn about available options.
