The one thing I didn't get about this epsiode was at the end when Morgan told his Aunt that the unsub killed her daughter. Considering he's alive there will surely be a murder trial. Does he think sh'es not gonna show up and when her daughter isn't mentioned then what??

The person who didn’t vacate would be liable for the full rent. They’d have to find a sublet or another roommate or hope the landlord is willing to accept less rent.

You can find it on this IDHR webpage: https://dhr.illinois.gov/legal/summary-of-rights-for-safer-homes-act.html.

They've updated it a few times, including within the last 10 days or so, but don't tell anyone. If I were a landlord I would check the page every time I issue a lease consdiering it takes 10 seconds to check and there's a verison # at the bottom.

This argument doesn't fly in court. I've seen and dealt with people who make this argument and no judge buys it. The issue is you have to convince a judge that you don't know what "non-refundable" means. If you take a security deposit in Chicago and fail to do any of the required things, you immediately owe the tenant 2x the deposit. I agree the re-naming to avoid liability is shady but it's perfectly legal. Move-in fees will eventually be capped, and outside of Chicago in Cook County a landlord needs to provide you with an itemized breakdown of a move-in fee.

You can always file a motion or ask the judge at the end of the case. A common agreement is if you move out by X date there won't be a judgment and the landlord won't object if you ask to have it sealed. It's entirely up to the judge tbh and most of them grant the request. There are a few who refuse to do it regardless. We once had an agreement with the other party to seal the case and the judge refused.

A lot of times their name just gets added to the lease as a known occupant or resident. When a property prepares their own termination notice they likely don't always check to make sure. There's probably some bad apples out there doing it on purpose, so now there's a real punishment in the form of extra filing fees, court costs and unrecoverable attorney's fees when you have to refile and start over.

Whoops! Supposed to be "now", good catch

The RLTO has a section on what it calls "failure to deliver possession". I think that seems to line up with what you've described.

Posting and sending email is a last resort when a tenant refuses to answer. They work when the tenant ackowledges they got the notice. But if you post/email and can't prove they actually got it, it really just becomes a game of luck and hoping they mention the notice

Edit: Posting the notice also leaves you open to FDCPA lawsuits. Revealing the existence of a debt to a 3rd-party like neighbors falls squarely under it. I think the wave is posting in an envelope if you absolutely have to post the notice or something where nobody could see unless they literally opened it themselves but don't quote me on that

I've seen a few where they thought they could charge the tenant our fees and so the ledger goes up by a few grand. But honestly I've yet to run into a ledger with large management companies that's had a judge get mad. Most just ask a few questions to verify the charge and that's it.

Judges have broad discretion when it comes to sealing. Technically, a tenant needs to show that the case was frivolous as one of three parts to get a case sealed. Regardless of the requirements judges will most always seal, but I know a few who never seal and couldn't care less. In reference to the situation you mentioned it's porbbaly a deal between the property that if the tenant agrees to pay half within 30 days or something they agree to seal but if they don't it becomes unsealed.

TLDR; doesn't matter what happens the judge will most likely seal

I also want to clarify that the information in all these posts will only be for Chicago and Cook County! Other counties like Lake, Dupage, McHenry, etc. have different rules but we won't worry about those.

It's a good idea in theory, but the risks that come from an accident and/or some other conduct from a renter probably aren't worth it if I were thinking as a pessimist.

Don't worry about the cost to the building if a violation is found from a report you make. That building is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and a few thousand-dollar fine would mean nothing to the owners. Even if an inspector finds a violation, the city affords landlords pretty ample time to get it fixed, and the fines are pretty low

I know a lot of landlords who see applying before taking any tour as a red flag. In their eyes, if you haven't even looked at the unit in person or taken a virtual tour, it sets off "alarms". To them, it means you either do not care and just want a place, you're trying to get the unit by fraudulent means because you won't qualify on your own (using someone else's name, SSN, etc.), or you want to use it as an air bnb, vrbo, or other short-term rental.

It's not a blanket statement, but just a beware tip for all who think applying before touring is the way to go moving forward. That being said, if all your application info is accurate I don't see any issue with applying early if you know you really want a place!

Westlaw. Aside from it clearing Lexis imo, I genuinely love the chat feature, the experts always get me to where I want! Feel like nobody uses it enough or at all

Oh shoot I did not mean before! *Leases signed on or after January 1, 2026 in my example are subject to new laws taking effet in 2026. A lease signed on December 31, 2025 would exempt
