This is extremely important for Illinois landlords.

Illinois statewide law is only part of the picture.

Cities and municipalities may have additional rules covering:

  • Rental licensing
  • Building inspections
  • Security deposits
  • Tenant notices
  • Heating
  • Habitability
  • Lead hazards
  • Smoke alarms
  • Carbon monoxide alarms
  • Evictions
  • Landlord disclosures

Chicago, for example, has its own landlord-tenant requirements.

Always check the municipality where the property is located.
