Round Lake — Ch. 15.60 Residential Rental Property Registration and Inspection § 15.60.070
Minimum Standards
Operative Text
No residential rental dwelling unit shall be occupied or continued to be occupied unless the structure in which said unit is located complies with the provisions and standards of the property maintenance code adopted by the village, and is maintained in a structurally sound condition and kept free from health, fire and other hazards to life and property. (Ord. No. 18-O-30, § 1, 10-15-18)
Round Lake Ch. 15.60 § 15.60.070 establishes that every residential rental dwelling unit must meet the village's adopted property maintenance code before it can be occupied or remain occupied. The structure housing the unit must be kept structurally sound and free from health, fire, and other hazards to life and property. This rule applies on an ongoing basis — not just at the time a tenant first moves in, but throughout the entire period of occupancy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Round Lake Ch. 15.60 § 15.60.070, compliant rental property operators generally ensure their buildings continuously meet the village's adopted property maintenance code, not merely at the point of initial rental. This means routinely assessing structural integrity and addressing health, fire, and safety hazards as they arise. Operators who allow a unit to remain occupied while the structure falls out of compliance with these standards risk running afoul of this provision.

Round Lake Ch. 15.60 § 15.60.070 establishes that tenants have a right to occupy a unit that meets the village's property maintenance code and is free from structural, health, fire, and other hazards — and that right continues throughout the tenancy, not just at move-in. If conditions in a rental unit appear to fall below these minimum standards, tenants may consider documenting the issues and contacting the village's code enforcement or inspection office to report potential violations. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain what options may be available when a landlord fails to maintain a property in compliance with this provision.
