The Illinois town of Rockford is about to launch a new
landlord registry that will alert property owners of any 911 dispatches made to
their rental. The Rockford Apartment agency said they hope the new system will
help “bring stability” to neighborhoods, and help landlords to make better-informed
decisions about the tenants residing in their rental properties.
In order to register for the alerts, landlords will have to submit their contact information and
addresses of their rental units. Those who do not comply could face fines by
the city.
The way it works is once emergency services are dispatched
to a property, the police will update the database and send emails to
landlords. Both residents and property
managers are hopeful this service will aid them in better managing their
tenants.
