Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9B-9
LICENSE UPDATED UPON SALE
Operative Text
Upon the sale or transfer of any single-family dwelling unit, shall be deemed stricken from any license issued pursuant to this chapter. Such license shall remain valid for remaining units set forth on said license. This is not applicable upon any court controlled transfer. (Ord, 2025-11, 4-3-2025)
Under Woodridge CHAPTER 9 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL ORDINANCE § 3-9B-9, when a single-family dwelling unit is sold or transferred, that unit is automatically removed from any existing rental license issued under the chapter. The remaining units covered by the same license continue to be licensed without interruption. This automatic removal does not apply when the transfer is controlled or ordered by a court.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-9B-9, operators who sell or transfer a single-family dwelling unit should be aware that the unit is automatically stricken from the existing rental license at the time of sale or transfer. Compliant operators typically review their license after any such transaction to confirm it accurately reflects only the units still under their ownership and management. Court-ordered transfers are treated differently and do not trigger this automatic removal, so operators involved in such proceedings generally verify which rules apply to their specific transaction type.

Section § 3-9B-9 of the Woodridge Residential Rental Ordinance governs how rental licenses are updated when a dwelling unit changes hands, which can affect who holds a valid license for the unit where a tenant lives. If a tenant believes their unit is being rented without a proper license following a sale or transfer, they may consider contacting the Woodridge municipal licensing or code enforcement office to inquire about the unit's current license status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help tenants understand how licensing requirements under this chapter may relate to their rental situation.
