It shall be unlawful for any person, owner, firm, partnership, association, corporation, managing agent, property agent, or other legal entity to knowingly permit, operate, maintain or offer for lease or rent within the Village any residential dwelling unit, whether vacant or occupied, without first having obtained a current Village of Bloomingdale Residential Dwelling Rental Unit License as provided in this chapter, so long as such regulation does not conflict with the provisions contained in Title 3 (Finance and Taxation) Chapter 3 (Hotel and Motel Use Taxes) of the Village Code.
Tenant occupancy, for lease or rent of a residential dwelling unit with or without compensation, shall not take place for any purpose until a Residential Dwelling Unit Rental License has been issued for the residential dwelling rental unit.
Thereafter, all residential dwelling rental properties shall be inspected annually and a new Residential Dwelling Unit Rental License issued upon satisfactory completion of requirements. A Residential Dwelling Unit Rental License shall not be issued to any owner, manager, or agent thereof, if such an owner, manager, or agent is indebted to the Village and until all violations of this article and all other applicable codes and ordinances of the Village have been brought into compliance. The possession of a Code Compliance Report in and of itself does not authorize occupancy of said property. The Residential Dwelling Unit Rental License shall state that the premises and occupancy thereof comply with all the provisions of the Village Code at all times.
