June 2021 began a new chapter for Residential Landlords with properties in Cook County.
The new Tenant and Landlord Ordinance has a host of changes imposing additional or modified requirements for leases and lease enforcement.
Landlords are cautioned to review their lease forms, to review security deposit and move-in deposit practices, and to update themselves on new rules concerning actions against defaulting tenants.
Tenants are learning about enhanced rights concerning lease provisions and limitations on landlord activities in and concerning the tenancy.
The new Ordinance Summary can be found at https://www.cookcountyil.gov/rtlo
