The Country Club Hills Crime Free Rental Housing Program was passed by ordinance in October 2008. It requires (1) the licensing of residential rental property by the property owner, (2) an inspection of the property by the Building Department, (3) a signed agreement (Crime Free Lease Addendum) between owner and renter, and (4) the property owner/manager attending a Crime Free Training Seminar.
The main concept of the program is to build a coalition between the property owners/managers, the Building Department, and the Police Department. Criminal activity on rental property results in a radical decline in property values and the “quality of life” for all residents of the City. By informing property owners of crime prevention strategies, applicant screening procedures, and tenant action that would violate the Crime Free Lease Addendum and Crime Free Ordinance, the program can reduce crime, increase property values, and improve the quality of life for all of our residents.
