Tinley Park CHAPTER 129F: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSE § 129F.14
DENIAL; SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF LICENSE; HEARING; APPEAL
Operative Text
No license shall be revoked unless the license holder has been given the opportunity to attend an informal meeting with representatives of the village to discuss activity at any rental premises which is or may be a violation of this chapter. If such violation is based on the activity of a tenant, household member, or guest, then the tenant shall also be given notice and the opportunity to attend such a meeting, pursuant to the requirements of §§ 129F.13 (C) and (D). The license holder will be given a reasonable amount of time after this informal meeting to resolve any problems or issues that may result in the suspension or revocation of the license holder’s license. If the problems or issues are not resolved, to the satisfaction of the village, formal license suspension or revocation proceedings may be commenced pursuant to § 110.10 . In the event an applicant has been denied a license the applicant shall have the right to appeal the denial under the provisions of § 110.10 . (Ord. 2008-O-008, passed 5-6-08; Am. Ord. 2012-O-033, passed 8-21- 12; Am. Ord. 2015-O-063, passed 12-15-15; Am. Ord. 2024-O-004, passed 1-16-24)
Tinley Park § 129F.14 establishes a procedural sequence that must occur before a residential rental license can be revoked. Before formal action is taken, the license holder must first be offered an informal meeting with village representatives to discuss potential violations, and if the alleged violation stems from a tenant, household member, or guest, that tenant must also receive notice and an opportunity to participate. After the informal meeting, the license holder is given a reasonable period to correct any problems before the village may initiate formal suspension or revocation proceedings under § 110.10; applicants who are denied a license outright also have the right to appeal under that same section.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 129F.14, compliant rental property operators in Tinley Park generally stay engaged with the village's informal meeting process when notified of potential violations, treating it as an opportunity to demonstrate corrective action before formal proceedings begin. Operators typically document the steps taken to resolve identified issues within the time period the village allows after the informal meeting, since unresolved problems can lead to formal suspension or revocation under § 110.10. When a license application is denied, § 129F.14 preserves the right to appeal, so maintaining records of the application and any village correspondence supports that process.

Section 129F.14 gives tenants a procedural protection: if a potential license violation is based on the activity of a tenant, household member, or guest, the tenant must receive notice and an opportunity to attend the informal meeting with village representatives before any revocation moves forward. This means tenants have a chance to present their perspective at an early stage, before formal proceedings under § 110.10 are initiated. Tenants who receive such a notice may benefit from reviewing §§ 129F.13(C) and (D) for the specific notice requirements, and from reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand how the process may affect their housing situation.
