Under O'Fallon Chapter 120, § 120.05, a property manager is treated as the owner's legal agent for purposes of the city's crime-free rental housing program. A newly hired property manager has a three-month window from the date of hiring to attend the city's crime-free rental housing program seminar. If that seminar requirement is not met within the allotted time, the rental license associated with the property may be suspended and additional penalties under § 120.99 may apply.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 120.05, compliant operators in O'Fallon generally track the hire date of any new property manager and ensure that manager attends the city's crime-free rental housing program seminar within three months of being brought on. Because the manager acts as the owner's agent, the owner bears responsibility if the seminar deadline is missed and the rental license faces suspension or the penalty provisions of § 120.99 are triggered. Keeping documentation of seminar attendance for each manager is a practice commonly associated with maintaining license compliance.
