On Tuesday, March 6, 2007, the Village of Mount Prospect’s Board of
Trustees enacted Ordinance 5619 which expanded the Crime Free Housing Program.
In brief, the ordinance now states that the owner of any building or dwelling
unit (including a single family residence) which is rented MUST obtain a
residential operator’s license. Furthermore, “a residential operator’s licenses
shall not be issued until the landlord, or designated agent, has attended and
successfully completed the
Crime Free seminar sponsored by the Village of Mount
Prospect.”
New landlords (or agents) have sixty days to successfully complete the Crime
Free seminar. Failure to do so will result in fines and possible loss of their
license to rent.
This expanded Crime Free Housing Program has been implemented with the goal of
reducing criminal activity within the Village and improving living conditions
for all residents.
