Short-term rental properties in Arlington Heights are subject to the same noise regulations as all other residential properties under Chapter 14. There are no separate noise provisions specific to short-term rentals. Guests and renters must comply with the village's nuisance ordinance, and property owners can be held responsible for noise disturbances caused by their short-term rental guests.
Arlington Heights does not have a separate short-term rental noise ordinance. Any noise regulations that apply to residential properties under Chapter 14 (nuisance provisions) also apply to properties used for short-term rental activity. Loud parties, amplified music, and other disturbances by guests at rental properties are treated the same as noise from any other residence. The property owner or operator may be held liable for recurring noise violations at their rental property, even if the owner is not present during the disturbance. This is consistent with the general principle in Illinois law that property owners are responsible for nuisance conditions on their property. Arlington Heights Police at (847) 368-5300 respond to noise complaints regardless of whether the property is owner-occupied or a rental.
Noise violations at short-term rental properties are handled the same as at any residence. Fines start at $75 per offense. Property owners may face additional consequences if their rental property generates repeated noise complaints, including potential zoning enforcement action. Call AH Police at (847) 368-5300.
