On April 18th, 2013 the Village Board of Hanover Park approved the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program as part of recommended updates to the existing “Rental Residential Housing Code” ordinance (Village Ordinance #0-13-12). Prior to obtaining or renewing a rental license in the Village, owners of rental property (or a designated property manager) must now attend a mandatory eight (8) hour educational training seminar and use a Crime Free Lease Addendum. The benefits of the Crime Free Multi-housing program include: • A stable, more satisfied tenant base. Increased demand for rental units with a reputation for active management • Lower maintenance and repair costs. Increased property values • Improved personal safety for tenants, landlords, and managers The free seminars will be conducted at the Hanover Park Police Headquarters and will provide landlords with information pertaining to applicant screening, eviction procedures, crime prevention, property management, and the Crime Free Multi-Housing program including the use of the Crime Free Lease Addendum. Dates and times of the seminars, as well as the ability to sign up, can be located on the Village of Hanover Park Police website (hpil.org/Services/Police.aspx) under Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. Landlords or rental property owners will be subject to fines and penalties if found not compliant with the new requirements. If you have any questions, please contact the Crime Free Multi-Housing Coordinator Rick Brogan at 630-823-5568 or by e-mail at [email protected].
