Under Woodridge Chapter 9 Residential Rental Ordinance § 3-9B-14, both property owners and tenants of licensed single-family rental dwellings are subject to village inspections of all portions of the property, including individual dwelling units. The village schedules inspections with the owner or managing agent, who must then give all tenants at least 48 hours' advance notice before an inspection occurs. If an owner or tenant refuses access, the village may seek an administrative search warrant to proceed with the inspection.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-9B-14, compliant operators of licensed single-family rental dwellings coordinate inspection scheduling directly with the village and ensure that all tenants receive written notice at least 48 hours before any scheduled inspection. Owners are also expected to designate a representative to accompany village inspectors whenever an otherwise inaccessible portion of the property is being examined. Operators who hold a license under this chapter generally treat inspection access as a condition of that license and maintain records of the notices provided to tenants.
