Orland Park Title 5 Ch. 8 Rental Housing § 5-8-1-8-4
PENALTIES
Operative Text
Any person, firm, corporation, or other entity violating any provision of this Chapter shall be subject to the penalties of all applicable codes and such person, firm, corporation, or other entity shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or portion thereof during which such violation is committed, continued, or permitted, and upon finding that a violation has occurred, shall be fined in accordance with the appropriate provisions of this Chapter and according to the fine schedule located in Appendix B for this and subsequent or continuing violations. (Amd. Ord. 5103, 6-6-16; Amd. Ord. 5224, 10-2-17)
Orland Park Title 5 Ch. 8 Rental Housing § 5-8-1-8-4 establishes that any individual, business, or other entity that violates any part of Chapter 8 faces penalties under all applicable codes. Each day—or even a portion of a day—that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense. Fines are assessed according to the fine schedule in Appendix B of the Chapter, meaning ongoing non-compliance can result in accumulating penalties over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 5-8-1-8-4, property owners and managers are generally expected to resolve any Chapter 8 violations promptly, because each day a violation persists is counted as a distinct offense that can generate additional fines. Compliant operators typically conduct regular inspections, address deficiencies quickly, and document corrective actions to avoid the compounding effect of per-day penalties. Reviewing the fine schedule in Appendix B of Orland Park Title 5 Ch. 8 can help operators understand the financial exposure associated with specific violations.

§ 5-8-1-8-4 of Orland Park's Rental Housing Chapter provides that landlords who violate Chapter 8 provisions are subject to escalating fines for each day a violation continues, which can serve as a meaningful incentive for correction. Tenants who believe a landlord is in violation of Chapter 8 may consider documenting the condition, notifying the appropriate Orland Park municipal authority, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Understanding that fines accumulate on a per-day basis under this provision may be relevant context when exploring how to address an unresolved housing issue.
