Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-9B-2, compliant operators of single-family rental properties in Woodridge secure the required license from the Village Administrator or their designee before placing a unit into rental service. Operators with a license issued prior to the chapter's effective date of April 3, 2025, can continue operating under that license until it expires, at which point renewal under the new chapter's provisions would apply. Maintaining current licensure and keeping records of issuance and expiration dates are practices generally associated with compliance under this ordinance.

Section § 3-9B-2 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance establishes that any single-family rental dwelling in the village must be licensed, which means tenants have a basis to inquire whether their landlord holds a valid license. If a rental unit appears to be operating without the required license, tenants may consider contacting the Village Administrator's office to verify licensure status or report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Woodridge municipal regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord is not in compliance with § 3-9B-2.
