Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9A-10
CLOSING, CANCELING, CERTAIN TRANSFERS
Operative Text
A. Transfer With Respect To Certain Parties: Whenever there is a change in the managing agent, owner, or other responsible party of a multiple-family dwelling unit, the owners shall provide written notice to the community development department within seven (7) days of such a change and file an updated multiple- family license application, no fee will be due for filing the change. B. Closing, Canceling Of License: If at any time a multiple- family dwelling or multiple-family building is no longer a rental unit, written notice shall be provided within seven (7) days of disposal of legal control to the village. (Ord. 2012-42, 7-26-2012)
Section 3-9A-10 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance establishes two related notification requirements for multiple-family dwelling properties. First, whenever ownership, management, or another responsible party changes hands, written notice must reach the Community Development Department within seven days, accompanied by an updated license application at no charge. Second, if a property ceases to operate as a rental unit entirely, the village must receive written notice within seven days of the owner relinquishing legal control.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-9A-10, compliant operators maintain a practice of promptly tracking any change in managing agent, owner, or responsible party and submitting written notice to the Community Development Department within the seven-day window, along with a no-cost updated license application. Similarly, when a property exits rental use, operators document the date legal control is disposed of and ensure written notice reaches the village within seven days of that event. Keeping dated copies of all submitted notices and applications supports a clear compliance record.

Section 3-9A-10 creates a transparency mechanism that can benefit tenants: when ownership or management of a multiple-family dwelling changes, the village is entitled to updated registration information within seven days. If tenants are uncertain who currently holds a valid license or who the responsible party is for their building, they may contact the Woodridge Community Development Department to inquire about the property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how licensing records relate to other protections available under the ordinance.
