The Owner of a rental Building shall maintain a record for each Building with the full legal names, dates of birth, driver license numbers or state identification card numbers, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of every tenant or occupant, residing in each Dwelling Unit. B. The Owner or property agent shall provide each tenant or occupant 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. The Owner shall also cause said information to be posted and maintained readily available in every Building. C. The Owner of a Building shall inform each tenant or occupant in writing, prior to occupancy, of the maximum number of persons allowable by the occupancy standards of the Village's property maintenance code. This number shall be as set forth in the International Property Maintenance Code, as adopted by the Village from time to time. D.

West Dundee § 3-27-6 establishes a set of recordkeeping and disclosure obligations that apply to owners of rental buildings. Owners must maintain detailed records on every tenant or occupant, post emergency contact information throughout the building, notify tenants in writing of maximum occupancy limits before move-in, and make tenant records available when there is reasonable suspicion of a Chapter violation. The rule is designed to ensure accountability, safety communication, and code compliance across rental properties in the Village.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under West Dundee § 3-27-6, compliant rental property owners and managers generally maintain up-to-date files containing each tenant's or occupant's full legal name, date of birth, driver's license or state ID number, phone number, and email address for every dwelling unit. They also provide each tenant with the name and 24-hour phone number of a responsible contact who can authorize and carry out emergency repairs, and post that information visibly throughout the building. Before a new occupant moves in, compliant operators deliver a written notice stating the maximum allowable occupancy as defined by the Village's adopted International Property Maintenance Code, and they keep tenant records accessible in the event the Village investigates a reasonable suspicion of a violation.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
West Dundee § 3-27-6 gives tenants and occupants the right to receive, before moving in, written notice of the maximum number of people permitted to reside in their dwelling unit under the Village's property maintenance code. Tenants are also entitled to be given the name and a 24-hour telephone number for a responsible person who can authorize emergency repairs. If an owner appears to be failing these obligations—such as not providing emergency contact information or withholding required occupancy disclosures—tenants may consider contacting the Village of West Dundee directly, documenting any gaps in compliance, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options under this Chapter.
