wait until you move out to resolve your
problems and enforce your rights under the
law. ACT NOW!
You may
qualify for FREE protection under the
Illinois Security Deposit Return Act and the
Illinois Security Deposit Interest Act if
you rented an apartment in the State of
Illinois.
If
your apartment unit, condo, house, CHAC/Section
8 subsidized housing, or townhouse was
located in the CITY OF CHICAGO, the Chicago
Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance (“RLTO”)
provides further protection for renters and
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS, including but not limited
to:
1) Interest on
your security deposit, key deposit, pet
deposit, or any pre-paid rent for each 12
month period you occupied the unit;
2) Your entire
security deposit after forty-five days after
you vacate the apartment;
3) Essential
services, including but not limited to:
heat, water, and electricity;
4) Prohibition
against wrongful eviction proceedings,
unenforceable lease provisions, excessive
fines and late fees, a landlord’s
retaliatory conduct for exercising your
rights under the RLTO; and
5) copy of a
summary of these rights and additional
rights under the Chicago Residential
Landlord Tenant Ordinance.
Depending on the
violation, you may recover up to DOUBLE
your security deposit, or DOUBLE your
monthly rent WITHOUT ANY CHARGE TO YOU!
As experienced professionals in this
area of the law, we can represent you
free of charge and you will not have to
pay any court costs, attorneys’ fees, or
other fees.
REMEMBER, what is written
in your lease is not always the LAW.
