Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9B-4
LICENSE TERM
Operative Text
Each license term granted hereunder shall be an annual license, the term of which shall commence on January 1 st of a given year and shall terminate on December 31 st of the same year. (Ord. 2025-11, 4-3-2025)
Under Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance § 3-9B-4, every rental license issued under this chapter runs on a fixed calendar-year cycle, beginning January 1st and ending December 31st of the same year. The license does not carry over into the following year; a new license is required for each annual period. This standardized term applies uniformly to all licenses granted under the ordinance, regardless of when a property first enters the licensing program.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-9B-4 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance, compliant operators maintain a current license for each calendar year their property is rented, understanding that no license automatically extends beyond December 31st. Property managers typically track the annual renewal cycle and submit any required applications or fees before the new year begins to avoid a lapse in licensure. Keeping records of each year's issued license helps demonstrate continuous compliance with the chapter's requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 3-9B-4 of Woodridge's Residential Rental Ordinance establishes that rental licenses are valid only for the calendar year in which they are issued, meaning a landlord must hold a valid, current license for each year they rent the property. Tenants who have questions about whether their landlord holds a current license for the applicable year may contact the Village of Woodridge directly to inquire about license status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local municipal ordinances can also help explain what options may be available if a rental unit is found to be operating without a valid license.
