Olympia Fields — Ch. 6 Art. V Systematic Inspection of Rental Housing § 6-211
Notice to village of rental dwelling
Operative Text
The owner or person in charge of a rental dwelling shall provide the village administrator or his or her designee with written notice that a residential dwelling is being leased or rented. Such notice shall be given within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this article. For any residential dwelling that is intended to become a rental dwelling after the effective date of this article, the owner or person in charge of the rental dwelling shall provide the same written notice prior to allowing the occupancy of the rental dwelling by a lessee or tenant.
Under Olympia Fields Ch. 6 Art. V § 6-211, owners or managers of rental dwellings are required to submit written notice to the village administrator (or a designated representative) identifying that a property is being used as a rental. Properties that were already rentals when the article took effect had a 30-day window to file this notice, while any property that becomes a rental after that effective date must have the notice submitted before a tenant is allowed to move in. This registration requirement is part of the village's systematic inspection program for rental housing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliance with § 6-211 generally means ensuring that written notice is on file with the Olympia Fields village administrator before any new tenant occupies a rental unit. Operators who acquired or converted a property to rental use after the article's effective date are expected to submit this notice proactively, not after occupancy has begun. Maintaining documentation of when and how the notice was submitted is a common practice among compliant property managers operating under this provision.

Section § 6-211 of Olympia Fields Ch. 6 Art. V establishes that landlords must register their rental properties with the village, which supports the municipality's ability to conduct systematic inspections that can benefit tenant health and safety. If a tenant has reason to believe their landlord has not filed the required notice, they may contact the Olympia Fields village administrator's office to inquire about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Cook County or Illinois municipal codes can help tenants understand how this registration requirement intersects with other protections available to them.
