Rantoul — Ch. 10 Art. XII Property Maintenance Code § 10-411
Certificate of inspection required
Operative Text
Except as otherwise provided in this division, it shall be unlawful and a violation of this section for the owner of any rental residential premises to permit any rental residential unit located therein to be occupied or to rent or lease any rental residential unit located therein without having a valid certificate of inspection issued by the inspection department of the village for each such rental residential premises.
Rantoul's § 10-411 establishes that rental residential properties must hold a valid certificate of inspection issued by the village's inspection department before any unit on those premises may be occupied, rented, or leased. Operating without that certificate constitutes a violation of the Property Maintenance Code. The rule applies to owners of rental residential premises, with limited exceptions noted elsewhere in the same division.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 10-411, compliant rental property owners in Rantoul obtain and maintain a current certificate of inspection from the village's inspection department before allowing any unit to be occupied or entering into a rental or lease agreement. Operators generally track certificate renewal timelines to avoid lapses that could render occupancy or new leases a code violation. Reviewing the full division for any applicable exceptions is a standard part of managing compliance with this requirement.

Section § 10-411 means that a landlord is required to hold a valid village-issued certificate of inspection for the premises before renting or allowing occupancy of a unit. Tenants who believe their landlord may not have obtained this certificate can raise the absence of a valid certificate as a potential code violation. General enforcement paths include contacting Rantoul's inspection department to inquire about a property's certificate status or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
