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.
