Background
In July, 2016, the Board adoped an ordinance that amended Chapters 12 and 13 of the Village Code of Oak Park pertaining to rental licensing and inspections for multi-family buildings with four or more rental housing units. If adopted this ordinance would correct an error in an amendment to Chapter 12 ("Housing") so that the new licensing procedure goes into effect after the next round of license renewals for 2017. Also, if adopted, this ordinance would amend language to affirm that, if a building owner accepts a security deposit, the value of that security deposit must be no less than one month's rent.
Alternatives
The Board may instruct staff to make revisions and bring the ordinance back for a second reading and adoption. The Board may also choose not to approve the ordinance.
