Handle Joliet Requirements with Ease
Rental Licensing & Inspections
Every Joliet rental unit needs an active license and periodic inspection. Track expirations, store certificates, and assign maintenance tasks in one place.
Crime-Free Housing Addendum
Joliet police require crime-free lease addenda and training. Attach addenda to leases, track tenant acknowledgements, and document compliance conversations.
Annual Unit Inspections
Schedule municipal inspections, share prep checklists with tenants, and keep before/after photos tied to each work order.
Security Deposit Compliance
Illinois law requires 45-day deposit refunds and 30-day notices for deductions. RentMouse tracks the timeline and stores proof of delivery.
Voucher & HUD Coordination
Joliet has a high portion of HCV renters. Track HQS inspections, rent reasonableness letters, and communication with the Will County Housing Authority.
Lead-Safe Documentation
Older West and Near East Side rentals require lead disclosure, mitigation records, and EPA pamphlets. Store every document alongside the lease.
