Section 14-98 of the Northfield Code of Ordinances primarily governs the rights of licensees and applicants, but tenants may have an indirect interest in whether a rental property holds a valid license. If a landlord's license is denied or revoked, tenants can look into how that status affects their housing situation by consulting local tenant-rights organizations or reviewing the appeal procedures in section 3-30(b) of the Code. Understanding the licensing appeal process can help tenants follow the status of a property's compliance with Northfield's rental licensing requirements.
