Will my rental license be suspended or revoked any time a crime happens?

No, with the number of apartments and the expectation of a substantial number of single unit rentals (condos, single family homes, etc.) requiring licenses, it is not possible to track every single incident. However, the owner of the units that become excessive in nature by virtue of the type or criminal activity or amount of nuisance activity (as noted in the ordinance) that impacts the quality of life of a neighborhood will be notified. The owners that actively work with the police department in an attempt to resolve the problem should have no concern. The City of O'Fallon will not automatically suspend or revoke a rental license for a property that meets the nuisance standard. The City Director of Public Safety, upon specific recommendation, may review the situation and may suspend or recommend revocation for a small percentage of rental property owners who fail to attempt to resolve problems on their property.
