Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 Rental Residential Property § 3-14-9
OWNER RESPONSIBILITY
Operative Text
A. The owner of the rental residential property shall maintain a record for each property with the full legal names of every tenant in each dwelling unit. B. The owner or property agent of a rental residential property shall provide each tenant with the name and telephone number of a responsible person who, in emergency situations, will be available on a twenty four (24) hour basis and who has the authority to make repairs as needed. C. The owner of a rental residential property shall inform each tenant, in writing, prior to occupancy, of the maximum number of persons, per dwelling unit, allowable by the village property maintenance code, as amended. This number shall be determined by the code official in accordance with this code. (Ord. 2000-9, 3-16-2000)
Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 § 3-14-9 establishes three baseline administrative duties for rental property owners. Owners must keep records of all tenants' full legal names by unit, supply tenants with a 24-hour emergency contact who can authorize repairs, and disclose in writing—before a tenant moves in—the maximum occupancy allowed under the village property maintenance code. These requirements are designed to ensure accountability, emergency responsiveness, and informed occupancy from the start of a tenancy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 § 3-14-9, compliant operators generally maintain an up-to-date tenant roster with full legal names for every unit, designate a responsible contact person whose name and phone number are shared with each tenant and who is reachable around the clock with authority to approve repairs. Before a new tenant takes occupancy, operators also provide a written disclosure stating the maximum number of occupants permitted in that unit as determined by the village code official. Keeping these records current and delivering the pre-occupancy disclosure before move-in are the core administrative practices this section addresses.

Section 3-14-9 of Streamwood Title 3 Ch. 14 gives tenants the right to receive, before moving in, a written statement of the maximum occupancy limit for their unit as set by the village property maintenance code. Tenants are also entitled to the name and phone number of a responsible person available 24 hours a day who can authorize emergency repairs. If these disclosures were not provided, tenants may wish to contact the Village of Streamwood's code enforcement office, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or explore whether the omission is relevant to any dispute under this chapter.
