Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 14.579, operators holding a rental license issued under Division B are generally expected to keep that license accessible and ready to present whenever a tenant, prospective tenant, police officer, or Housing Inspector asks to see it. A compliant operator maintains the physical or digital license in a location where it can be retrieved promptly. Failing to produce the license upon request may expose the license holder to scrutiny from the Housing Inspector or other enforcement action.

Section 14.579 gives current tenants and prospective tenants the explicit right to request and view the rental license that covers their unit or a unit they are considering renting. If a landlord refuses or is unable to produce the license, that may indicate a compliance issue worth reporting to Bloomington's Housing Inspector. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Bloomington's ordinances can help explain what options are generally available when a license cannot be produced.
