The Crime Free Rental Housing Program is a collaborative effort between the Development Services and the Police Department to enforce standards on rental properties Village wide. The Rental Housing Chapter of the Village Code is designed to maintain property values in the Village by ensuring all residential rental housing is safe and crime-free by requiring minimum property maintenance standards and, further, to prevent blighted and deteriorated rental housing areas in the Village. As part of the program, all rental properties must be registered, inspected on a tri-annual basis, and landlords must attend training, and tenants are required to sign a crime free lease addendum. The addendum states that should any tenant be found engaging in any criminal activity on or near the rental property or its common areas, then it will be considered a violation of the lease and good cause for termination of tenancy.
Landlords and/or property agents are required to attend one landlord training seminar. The following seminars have been scheduled by the Village of Orland Park Police Department.
All classes will be conducted at the Orland Park Police Department (15100 S. Ravinia Ave) in the Media Room (located to the left of the entrance doors).
