Join us for a practical, straight-from-the-inspectors session on rental code compliance with representatives from the Cities of Champaign and Urbana, and Village of Savoy. We’ll cover what they look for, recent updates, and how to avoid common pitfalls—plus plenty of time for your questions.

Our panelists will include Tim Spear, City of Champaign; Cody Swanson, City of Urbana; and Orie Turnball, Village of Savoy.

What we’ll cover

• Inspection process: notice, access, focus areas, and what a typical visit looks like
• Common violations & trends: what’s popping up more often and seasonal patterns
• Regulations & updates: what’s changed, what’s coming, and how to stay informed
• Enforcement & penalties: timelines to correct, fines, and the appeals process
• Best practices for landlords: easy wins, preventive steps, and smoother inspections
• Tenants’ role: handling tenant-caused issues and resolving disputes
• Tech & tools: online resources and apps to track compliance

We’ll also ask targeted questions like:

• How are properties selected for inspection, and how often?
• Differences between municipalities and Section 8 requirements?
• What happens after a violation is found—and how much time do we get to fix it?

Who should attend

• Owners, managers, and anyone responsible for rental operations, maintenance, or compliance.

What questions and suggestions will you bring to the meeting? Register now!
